Are you ready to use your skills not just to care, but to lead, mentor and shape the future of mental health support in education? We are looking for a Senior Wellbeing Practitioner to join our amazing Mental Health Support Team. In this role, you will work directly with children and young people with mild to moderate mental health needs, delivering evidence-based interventions that make a lasting difference. You will support children experiencing a wide range of needs including trauma, OCD, self-harm, disordered eating, emotional based school avoidance and neurodiversity. Alongside your clinical work, you will supervise and guide Education Mental Health Practitioners and trainees, supporting their growth and development along with empowering them in their roles.
