Trainee Supervising Practitioner

Are you a qualified Education Mental Health Practitioner or a Mental Health Practitioner delivering CBT interventions ready to take the next step in your mental health career and become a future leader in children and young people`s services? If you`re passionate about empowering young people to thrive and want to grow your practice in a truly supportive environment, this is your opportunity to shine.

As a Trainee Supervising Practitioner, you will be part of our amazing Mental Health Support Team (MHST), an innovative programme transforming how young people access early mental health support. Our MHSTs focus on prevention, early intervention and removing barriers that delay help and frustrate families.

In this role, you will work closely with a wide range of professionals to ensure children and young people get the right support at the right time. You will develop your skills in CBT-informed supervision, supported by experienced clinicians and a dynamic, values-driven team committed to creativity, inclusion and continuous learning.

We don`t believe in one-size-fits-all services. Our support is shaped by local voices, blending evidence-based practice with innovation and real-world need.

You will begin on a Band E salary, moving to Band F once your training course starts.

This is more than a training role. It is a chance to lead, grow and make a real difference. If that sounds like your next move, we would love to hear from you.
