Position Overview & Specifications
The MHST Clinician and Supervisor will have several key roles within the team. They will offer supervision to trainee and qualified Education Mental Health Practitioners or Children's Wellbeing Practitioners, who are part of a new workforce within CAMHS to deliver early intervention work, and some aspects of clinical service delivery, including direct psychological interventions and consultation to schools. Alongside supervision, overtime the post holder's caseload will include children and adolescents with mild moderate emotional and mental health difficulties and will deliver evidence-based 1:1 and group interventions, employing the principles underpinning the national CYP-IAPT programme (Children and Young Peoples Improving Access to Psychological Therapies). Over time the post holder will develop relationships with designated mental health leads in schools to help them develop approaches for mental health and wellbeing in their schools, and gain experience of teaching, training and consultation. The post holder will be joining two other MHST Supervisors and Clinicians with lots of opportunities for peer support and career development, and working within a large multi-disciplinary team.
We hope the Clinician and Supervisor in post may have the opportunity to complete a training course in Supervision: Children & Young People's Mental Health and Wellbeing Services.
