ABOUT US

Compass is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults and you should share our commitment. All Compass posts are subject to appropriate level DBS checks. We positively encourage applications from all members of the community, regardless of gender, race, faith, disability, gender reassignment, age or sexual orientation and encourage applications from people who have experiences in life which enrich skills and empathy. This is part of our commitment to equality and developing a truly inclusive and representative workforce. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments individuals may require in the recruitment process, on commencement, or once in post.

The Coventry Emotional Health and Wellbeing Service ensures Children and Young People (CYP) access the right help, at the right time, in the right setting.
The support you provide will be evidenced based and tailored to the needs of the child and young person, whilst working closely with parents, care givers and allied professionals on an individual and in a group setting. You will work collaboratively with young people and their families incorporating the use of outcome measures for the intervention provided. The input you provide will include specific emotional wellbeing support, consultation, and training to staff within the service and other agencies where appropriate and will match the knowledge requirements of the post.
