ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a motivated professional passionate about supporting the mental health and well-being of children and young people. With a qualification in mental health or work with children and young people (e.g. Youth Work, Social Work, Psychology, counselling, or NVQ Level 4 equivalent) you bring a strong foundation to the role.

• Experience of delivering training packages and group or individual interventions with children, young people or young adults
• Knowledge of safeguarding frameworks including Gillick competence and mental capacity
• Experience of inter-agency and multi-disciplinary working
• Understanding of emotional wellbeing, mental health and psychosocial interventions
• Strong communication skills, able to build relationships with schools, families and professionals
• Confidence managing sensitive information, risk and safeguarding responsibilities
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle

It would also be helpful, but not essential, if you bring experience working with vulnerable groups, involving young people and families in service design, or delivering evidence-based interventions in education settings. A positive, solution focused approach and commitment to ongoing professional development will strengthen your application.
