Time for young people is our new emotional wellbeing support space for young people who live and study in Leeds. Time for young people empowers young people to take time for themselves.

Do you want to support a team who work with children, young people with emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties?

The post holder will support Children, Young People, and Young Adults in our Emotional Health & Wellbeing services based in Leeds by offering low intensity support under a brief intervention framework.

It is planned to offer drop in sessions where young people can drop in and meet trained staff one to one. Young people can come along and talk through what they are struggling with. The service holds no waiting lists and therefore the ability to build relationships quickly, identify risks, and process further support is vital.

Alongside our drop-in support, we will also offer young people more structured one-to-one sessions if appropriate.
