Schools Practitioner

Are you're interested in making a meaningful, positive change in the lives of children and young people? If you are then we have an amazing opportunity we'd like to tell you about.

Compass is happy to be expanding our Mental Health Support Teams (MHST) in North East Lincs. We're on a mission to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. If you’re committed to making a difference and delivering effective and evidence-based support, we’d like to hear from you!

As a School Practitioner in our MHST, you’ll play a vital role in helping shape our services by working closely with schools, families, and communities. This role is a great opportunity to grow your career in mental health support while making a real impact on the lives of young people.

You’ll join a dedicated team to strengthen MHST initiatives, building lasting partnerships, and drive the implementation of effective mental health services aligned with the national framework. We also offer great opportunities for further training, including a Postgraduate Certificate in clinical supervision!

If this exciting role sounds like something you'd like to be a part of then here's what we're looking for.

We’re seeking someone with a core professional qualification (e.g., EMHP, PMHW, or equivalent) and a commitment to continuous professional development. Your experience in therapeutic work with children and young people (at least 2 years) is essential, along with a strong background in risk assessment, clinical supervision, and engaging with families.

You’re a natural leader, skilled in delegating tasks and supporting your team. Your experience in managing changing priorities and organising team duties will help you thrive in the role. With excellent communication skills, you can relate to children and young people, ensuring they feel heard, understood and valued.

A flexible and solution-focused approach is key, as is a commitment to evidence-based practice and data collection. Your IT proficiency will support your work in this innovative setting, and your strong personal values will guide your interactions.

We welcome applications from all backgrounds, emphasizing diversity and inclusivity in our workforce. You’ll need a full UK driving license and access to a vehicle, as you’ll be working in various communities and educational settings.
