About the Role
The Educational Mental Health Practitioner will work autonomously and responsibly, with appropriate supervision, delivering evidence-based interventions for children and young people in educational settings experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties. The role involves supporting children and young people with more severe problems to access specialist services rapidly, and facilitating education staff in identifying and managing mental health and wellbeing issues. You will work collaboratively within education environments to improve access to specialist mental health services.

The role requires assessment and delivery of outcome-focused, evidence-based interventions in partnership with children, young people, their families, and educators. You will operate inclusively, respecting diversity, and adhere to safeguarding protocols and local procedures. Responsibilities include managing caseloads, attending multidisciplinary meetings, maintaining clear records, and contributing to the development of clinical and training materials.

Training and supervision are integral, with expectations to apply learning from training programs, present caseload information, respond to supervision feedback, and engage in continuous professional development. The post holder must maintain professional standards, ensure confidentiality, manage risks appropriately, and participate in performance reviews and relevant educational opportunities.

Experience
Experience working with children and young people with mild to moderate mental health difficulties in educational or similar settings is desirable. Ability to work autonomously while engaging in supervision and case management is essential.

About you
Committed to inclusive practice and respectful of diversity. Able to collaborate effectively with children, families, educators, and multi-agency teams. Strong communication and organisational skills with a professional approach to safeguarding and risk management. Motivated to engage in continuous professional development and apply evidence-based interventions.

Qualifications
Relevant qualifications in mental health, psychology, social work, or related fields are expected. Commitment to ongoing training and adherence to professional standards is required.
