Description

The role

We invite you to consider being involved in this exciting opportunity to be a part of delivering the governments vision and commitment of having integrated mental health teams in schools as set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.

Building on existing 'whole school approaches' to mental health and wellbeing, Surrey is developing new Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) to work with selected primary and secondary schools to increase access to mental health interventions and provide early intervention in relation to Emotional Wellbeing and Mental health for children and young people up to the age of 18.

Each MHST is co-produced and designed by the schools/YP they support and thus truly meet the needs of CYP where they are in a way which works for them.

This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a new approach to meeting children and young people's mental health needs as early as possible in an evidenced based way utilising both targeted and holistic/systemic approaches.

We currently have a number of vacancies which we are recruiting to, both within new and existing teams, and so would welcome applicants who would be interested in working within the following geographical areas: Reigate and Bandstead, Surrey Heath, Aldershot, Elmbridge; Woking; Waverley and those who have a special interest in working within our Special Schools Team.

We currently have a total of 7 WTE Band 7 roles in total and would welcome applicants who wish to work full or part time.

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is the leading provider of health and social care services for people of all ages with mental ill-health and learning disabilities in Surrey and North East Hampshire.

We also provide social care services for people with a learning disability in Croydon and ASD and ADHD assessment services in Hampshire.

We actively seek to engage people who use our services and our communities in improving the mental wellbeing of the local population.

We work closely with other NHS and voluntary sector organisations who provide services and support people who use services and carers.

Surrey is a beautiful county lying just 30 minutes away from Central London and from the South Coast.

Our historic market towns and bustling districts are enveloped in wonderful countryside, and our excellent road and rail networks bring the rest of the country within easy reach.

For international travel, both Gatwick and Heathrow airports are nearby.

Working from home contracts do not attract high cost area payments.

Our MHSTs support children and young people with emerging or mild-moderate mental health difficulties and 'Getting Help' within the Thrive Framework by delivering targeted evidence-based interventions in schools.

The MHSTs also work together with their schools to co-produce and deliver whole school approach work and offer ongoing professional consultation and advice to School Professionals, being the 'link' between the school and wider EWB and MH services within Surrey.

Each MHST is co-located in a carefully selected group of schools within their Borough of Surrey, with services delivered across a cluster of schools for each area.

In other words, we will have MHSTs working within each of the 11 Boroughs of Surrey - Epsom, Spelthorne, Reigate and Banstead, Elmbridge, Surrey Heath, Woking, Runnymede, Guildford, Waverley, Tandridge and Mole Valley.

We have established teams in 9 of these 11 boroughs with 2 new teams to start in September in Tandridge and Mole Valley as well as an additional 2 Specialist teams who will work Surrey Wide (Likely based in Leatherhead but practitioner base negotiable).

Please check the job description & person specification document for more information on the requirements for this job.
