Be part of something that truly changes lives for children and young people across Southampton. As a qualified Education Mental Health Practitioner or Children's Wellbeing Practitioner working as part of our innovative Mental Health in Schools Team (MHST), you will play a vital role in delivering early intervention mental health support directly within schools and colleges. This is a proud opportunity to work at the frontline of community-based care, helping young people experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties.
In this role you will combine clinical expertise with creativity and compassion, working in partnership with education settings to ensure mental health support is accessible, timely, and impactful. You will help empower children and young people to understand their emotions, build resilience, and develop practical coping strategies that support their wellbeing and educational outcomes.
You will join a supportive, forward-thinking service that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement. You will contribute to a whole-school approach to wellbeing, supporting staff and families to better understand and respond to mental health needs, and ensuring young people receive the right support at the right time.
