Job Description

Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) – Basildon, Braintree & MaldonIn line with the government’s priority to increase access and availability of mental health and wellbeing support for children and young people, the new Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) roles in NELFT are an exciting opportunity to deliver evidence-based early interventions for children and young people. These roles are funded by the Department of Health & Social Care and are all situated with NELFT in mid and South Essex. There are three new teams that will be based in Basildon, Braintree and Maldon. See the government Green Paper - Green Paper for Transforming children and young people’s mental health.Successful candidates will be offered a post-graduate educational programme specifically for the EMHP role and delivered by the University of Reading. The roles are funded at NHS Agenda for Change (AfC) bottom of Band 4, gaining credits towards a diploma level qualification, plus guaranteed employment on completion of training, with a starting salary at the bottom of the NHS AfC Band 5 scale with NELFT in Essex.To enable this, all applicants must demonstrate in their application the ability to work at degree level and have an equivalent level of relevant experience, with a proven record of previous learning or formal study in child development, wellbeing or mental health. It is also essential that applicants have relative experience of working with children and young people, and an understanding of the educational system in England is highly desirable.The training programme for these posts starts in January 2021. It is 12 months in duration and will consist of academic and supervised practice learning across educational settings, such as primary and secondary schools. This training will occur in various locations across Basildon, Braintree and Maldon, with Trainee EMHPs based in one of these three teams.Delivery of the university programme will be provided through a combination of taught days, experience gained in education wellbeing and mainstream mental health services, and independent self-guided study days. The university programme will be delivered both remotely and at an outreach location in Hatfield by the University of Reading.The training course is divided into modules, developing skills and knowledge in areas such as:

  • Working with children, young people and their parents/carers to support self-management including development of plans for specific interventions and agreeing outcomes
  • Learning to manage own caseload, gaining the necessary skills to practice a range of interventions such as guided self-help
  • Preparing and presenting caseload information to supervisors
  • Working with colleagues to provide better access to specialist mental health services and supporting referrals where required
  • Supporting colleagues in education to identify and manage issues related to mental health and wellbeing
    • On successful completion of training, Trainee EMHPs will be equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge and capabilities to work as a qualified EMHP as autonomous and responsible practitioners within their scope of practice, alongside education colleagues.As a Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner in NELFT you will work under clinical supervision as part of a dynamic NHS mental health team in a creative environment. Evidence-based interventions, new ideas, ways of working and supporting children and young people are actively encouraged. This modern approach requires flexibility and adaptability, and above all a passion for working with children and young people specifically in educational settings.The NHS team uses a blend of face to face interventions along with online/digital support as part of what is offered (e.g. support via video and telephone calls). Over the course of the training year, under clinical supervision you will develop knowledge and practice skills to employ a range of evidence based interventions for common mental health problems via direct individual and group support for children, young people and their parents, in line with NHS and university expectations.As an NHS employee you will record your outcomes and contribute to the growing national dataset of what works and helps to support children and young people with their emotional wellbeing and mental health.The Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner role will:
  • Work closely as part of a team of mental health professionals delivering a wide range of evidence informed interventions, under clinical supervision (e.g. guided self-help, parenting interventions, working through teaching staff)
  • Develop and practice evidence-based skills under clinical supervision to work directly with children, young people and families
  • Develop and practice evidence-based skills under clinical supervision to carry out holistic and child-centered mental health assessments, including risk assessments
