Educational Mental Health Practitioner

Are you passionate about transforming the mental health landscape for children and young people?

As an Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP), you’ll have a unique opportunity to deliver life-changing support within education settings. Working closely with schools, families, and communities, you’ll provide evidence-based interventions tailored to the needs of children and young people with mild to moderate mental health challenges. Your work will empower young minds to thrive emotionally and academically while equipping school staff with the tools to build a culture of mental wellbeing.

In this dynamic role, you’ll be at the heart of meaningful collaboration, working alongside education leaders, families, and mental health professionals. You’ll offer tailored guidance, support whole-school approaches to mental health, and contribute to creating safe, nurturing environments for young people. Whether conducting risk assessments, managing caseloads, or providing psychoeducational tools, your efforts will have a direct, positive, and lasting impact on children’s lives.

We’ll support you with ongoing supervision, professional development opportunities, and a values-driven team that celebrates innovation and shared learning. If you’re motivated to make a real difference and thrive in a role that combines compassion, expertise, and collaboration, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Join us and help shape a brighter future for young people and their communities.

We are seeking a compassionate and skilled professional dedicated to supporting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of children and young people. With a qualification as an Education Mental Health Practitioner or a related field, you bring a strong understanding of educational environments, safeguarding protocols, and therapeutic approaches such as CBT or solution-focused brief therapy. Your experience working with children, families, and a variety of agencies has equipped you to navigate complex social systems and environments with confidence and care.

As an effective communicator with excellent assessment and organisational skills, you excel in delivering 1:1 and group therapeutic interventions, supporting whole-school mental health strategies, and offering actionable guidance on managing risk. Your ability to connect with vulnerable groups, including looked-after children and those with social, emotional, or behavioural challenges, makes you a trusted advocate for their needs. You are skilled at tailoring interventions to individual circumstances with a focus on outcomes and safety.

Driven by integrity and continuous development, you embody values like honesty, respect, and reliability. Your proactive approach ensures you deliver impactful solutions, foster partnerships, provide mental health training, and inspire positive change, empowering young people, families, and educators to thrive.
