The Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) role is an exciting opportunity to deliver evidence-based early interventions, working across educational settings and healthcare sectors.
Haringey Mental Health Support Team is an established team within the wider CAMHS service. We have excellent relationships established with schools across the borough, and are looking for enthusiastic trainees to help us with expanding our service and delivering our vision.
The programme is delivered through a combination of taught days with Anna Freud and UCL, independent self-guided study days, and practical experience gained in education wellbeing and mainstream mental health services.
A Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner will work under supervision as part of a dynamic team in a creative environment where evidence-based interventions, new ideas, ways of working and supporting children and young people (CYP) are actively encouraged. This approach requires flexibility and adaptability, and above all a passion for working with CYP in educational settings.
During the training year, the post-holder will develop their knowledge and practical skills under supervision. They will employ evidence-based interventions for common mental health problems, providing direct individual and group support for children, young people, and their parents/carers, in line with university expectations.

. Develop and practice evidence-based skills under supervision to work directly with children, young people, and families.

Successful candidates will enrol in a full-time professional training programme to become qualified EMHPs. For the training year, successful candidates will be employed by Haringey CAMHS and work in educational settings within this service’s borough.
Please note: Successful candidates will be expected to travel to the Anna Freud office (N1 9JH) in the first year to complete their training, but the position will be based in St Ann's Hospital and partnering education settings.
