Compass GO… Mental Health Support Team (MHST) will ensure Children and Young People (CYP) access the right early help, in the right setting removing duplication and preventing CYP/families being ‘bounced’ in-between services.
The service will support children, young people and families providing extra capacity for early intervention support within school and college settings. The three core elements that the MHSTS will provide are:
- Evidence based interventions for mild to moderate mental health and emotional wellbeing issues
- Support designated senior mental health leads in each setting
- Provide timely advice to school and college staff
The service will develop innovative methods to make a real difference to the lives of young people.
With appropriate supervision, you will work as an autonomous and responsible practitioner within the scope of local job description, to engage in the activities listed below and to use the acquired skills, knowledge and abilities to deliver a service based within education settings that builds on and reinforces but does not replace those initiatives that already exist within these environments.
