Job description
Job summary
The Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) and Child Wellbeing Practitioner (CWP) roles offer exciting opportunities to deliver evidence-based early interventions for children and young people, working across both educational settings and healthcare sectors in England, with a focus on a whole-school approach.

The Mental Health Support Teams (MHST) are part of a wider community pathway service in the locality, where the team are working to reduce health inequalities in communities where these are most prominent, working closely with the schools and other external partners addressing their most prominent needs, by implementing whole schools approaches and targeted interventions. The teams work under the same management team but serve three distinct areas. Luton is a very diverse locality, with a high proportion of young people who have English as an additional language. Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Flitwick are areas of high need but are more rural. You would be joining a comprehensive and dynamic CAMHS service, delivering a stepped model of care following the needs-led I-Thrive framework.

Main duties of the job
The post holder will play a key role as a member of the MHSTs , who will have the responsibility for delivering the school's overarching approach to providing mental health and wellbeing support for children and young people.The role will help develop and deliver a wide range of interventions, projects, and system changes to adopt whole-school and whole-community approaches to supporting young people's mental health.

You will be confident in providing Guided Self Help to young people and families with anxiety, low mood and challenging behaviours. You will be flexible and creative in responding to the needs of the school populations, with excellent support from your team and supervision. You will also be able to adapt to working remotely and prioritising access to services and resources.

You will be part of a very comprehensive stepped care model of delivery by CAMHS ELFT services in the county, and be an integral part of a thriving and substantive specialist multi-disciplinary service offer.

About us
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.

We offer an exciting and dynamic environment where your ideas and career development will be valued. You will be supported directly by senior colleagues and we will develop the service together.
