Clinical Supervisor in London

Redbridge Mental Health Support Team (MHST) are hoping to recruit Clinical Supervisors who are passionate about early intervention for children and young people's mental health.

MHSTs are a national initiative in response to the Government's plans to transform children and young people’s mental health provision. MHSTs have three core functions:

• Delivering evidence-based interventions for children and young people with mild-moderate mental health difficulties.
• Supporting the senior mental health lead in the delivery of their whole school/college approach.
• Giving timely advice to school and college staff and signposting to external specialist services.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an applicant who is passionate about supporting early intervention around children and young people’s mental health. We are seeking applicants from Educational/Clinical Psychologists, Social Workers and Systemic Family Therapists and are open to shaping the role depending on professional expertise. The main duties of the role involve:

• Delivering evidence-based intervention directly to children, young people and their families, both individually and in groups.
• Supervising Education Mental Health Practitioners who deliver low-intensity CBT based guided self-help interventions to children, young people and their families. This includes group supervision and individual case management supervision.
• Providing whole school mental health support to school staff and the wider community. This may include a range of work from training and projects to parent/carer support and borough wide campaigns.

Applicants will need to hold a post graduate diploma in the Children and Young Peoples Mental Health Supervision or be willing to undertake the one year Post Graduate Diploma at a London University alongside the role.
