Job description

Child and Young People's Mental Health (CYP-MH) Trainings are a national suite of service transformation and new workforce programmes led and contracted by NHS England Workforce, Training & Education (NHSE), of which a large part is training for managers, supervisors, and high and low intensity therapy practitioners in delivering evidenced based, accountable therapies.

Students are staff from the NHS, Local Authority and Voluntary Organisations. The CYP-MH programmes follow National Curricula.

The Post Graduate Diploma in Education Mental Health Practice (EMHP) is a new workforce training role developed in response to the Government Green Paper on transforming young peoples' mental health provision, which has been commissioned since 2019.

The EMHPs are based in schools as part of a Mental Health Support Team, delivering under supervision, high quality, brief outcome-focused evidenced low intensity interventions for children and young people with common mild-moderate mental health problems in education settings.

All programmes are based in the Department of Psychology, School of Mental Health & Psychological Sciences (MhAPS), Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London (KCL).

Role and responsibilities

The Teaching Fellow/Senior Teaching Fellow will be involved in ensuring the teaching programme would enable students to be prepared to provide low intensity mental health interventions in health settings for common mental health problems.

Tutors on the course are either responsible for providing this from a perspective of education OR of health (and not necessarily both), and as such would have either a professional teaching or SEN background OR a mental health background, or both (e.g.

EMHP supervisor or working in an MHST). The post-holder will have a role in preparing and delivering tutoring and teaching on the programme. As part of the role it will be important to liaise with the settings where the students are working.

Teaching is delivered through lectures to the full year of students, and practice tutor groups with smaller groups of students, where students bring video recordings of their intervention work in education settings or role play practice.

A competencies framework is used to support trainees to self monitor their skills acquisition, and also as a structure for formative and summative assessment of clinical skills in assignments.

The post holder would be expected to bring to the attention of the module lead any concerns relating to students' academic or clinical work and general welfare.

They will also conduct formative and summative assessments, including marking, and moderation of assignments by the dates agreed, and attending marking workshops and regular group supervision sessions with other tutors.

Another key responsibility of the role includes being personal tutor for a number of trainees, which requires termly smaller group meetings, and being available to meet with personal tutees individually where required.

The personal tutor role involves sign-posting students to relevant sources of support (welfare and academic) within working hours.

The postholder will be available on Wednesdays.

It is not possible to do the role on another day of the week due to the nature of the timetable.

The postholder is responsible to the module leads and course co-directors.

This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 24 months

This is a part-time post - 20% full time equivalent (7 hours per week)

Conduct formative and summative assessments, including marking, and moderation of assignments by the dates agreed

Attend marking workshops and group supervision

Provide personal tutor support for some students, including termly group/individual meetings and further individual meetings as required.
