Job overview
Band 6 - Senior Mental Health Practitioner (Mental Health Support Teams)
Schools and other education settings play an important role in supporting the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. They can promote good emotional wellbeing, support the learning of social and emotional skills, reduce the stigma associated with mental health difficulties, and spot potential difficulties early on
Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) are a new government initiative to help increase children and young people's access to support for emotional wellbeing and mental health. MHSTs are part of the national Children and Young People's Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) programme. MHSTs have three main functions:
To work in collaboration with education staff to develop and implement a Whole School Approach (WSA) to emotional wellbeing and mental health. This includes identifying priorities for WSA and supporting with the delivery of these
To offer support and guidance to schools, promoting joint working with other services to ensure that children and young people are able to receive the support that they need.
Your role within the service will support the direct delivery of the MHST service in schools as well as supporting junior staff to undertake their roles.
Please see our Website for examples and explanations of our work.
