Job summary

This is a NHS role, within Mindworks led by Surrey and Borders NHS trust. It demonstrates the significant contribution Educational Psychologists (EP) can make (particularly with knowledge and skills regarding social, emotional and mental health, school systems, and consultation) in promoting child and young person emotional wellbeing and mental health.

We are a small group of EPs, linked to Mental Health Support Teams (MHST), and embedded within a School Based Need (SBN) service. We work jointly with a range of Children and Young People Services - Mental Health professionals (e.g. clinical psychologists, play therapists, CBT practitioners) in pursuit of a shared goal around CYP thriving. Our particular focus is around 'Whole School Approaches,' which involves work with school leaders on different areas of school functioning (as set out in Public Health England's Whole School Approach Framework, for example).

Our team's overall ethos is captured by a focus on outcomes (not outputs), approaches (not just activities), and the idea that if a young person is not thriving we should intervene in their environment first before looking within the individual. Our EPs get monthly supervision, and we meet half termly for a CPD focussed 'together day' (last day we looked at shared psychological frameworks and a neighbouring service facilitated a PATH for us; for our next day we're receiving training from a systemic practitioner on group dynamics relevant to school leadership teams).

Main duties of the job

Innovative work that is preventative, multi-systemic, and at the intersection of health and education.

Job summary

Are you a Band 6 Mental Health professional with a passion for Early Intervention in Psychosis? Are you looking for a new and exciting opportunity to develop your skills and expertise? Look no further than Midland Partnership Foundation Trust (MPFT)

Our Early Intervention Team is one of the top-performing teams in the country. Clinicians in our team hold smaller caseloads that enable people to deliver the quality of care that they aspire to. Professionals in our team say that they find the work inherently rewarding because of the clear sense of what "good" looks like in this field, and because of the huge impact you are able to have on a person's life, with full recovery a realistic possibility in many cases.

This post will predominantly be covering the East of the patch, which includes Lichfield, Tamworth, Burton on Trent and surrounding areas. However, the team as a whole provides input to people across South Staffordshire, working out of team bases across the Trust, as well as people's homes, GP surgeries, other public settings, and inpatient settings. Therefore, the successful applicant must be willing to travel across the geographical area where required.

Main duties of the job

The Early Intervention Service supports individuals for up to 3 years who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis, are typically presenting for the first time to mental health services and have either not yet received any treatment or have been treated for less than a year. The service is designed to encourage access and provide treatment to predominantly a young service user group, but also spans an age ranging up to 65. It embraces a culturally sensitive approach, adopting a bio/psycho/social approach and assertive outreach style therefore the team composition is suited to this target group.

You will be required to contribute to assessments of people who are referred to the service, working alongside other members of the team and in partnership with the person, their families/carers and other services and professionals involved.

You will act as care co-ordinator to a clinical caseload who have been assessed and accepted onto caseload by the service, and will also be expected to contribute to a team approach in relation to meeting service users and their family's needs.

You will act as an autonomous practitioner in aspects of their role, agreeing care plans with service users and the multi-disciplinary team involved. Referring to the team leader and senior practitioners where necessary, but in particular in relation to high profile and very complex cases.

About us

Come and work with us at our award-winning NHS Trust, leading the way for trying new and better ways of working to help improve life for our local communities.

We have around 9,000 staff who provide physical and mental healthcare, support for people with learning disabilities, and adult social care across Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Shropshire, and Telford & Wrekin. We also run regional and national services, including help for new parents (perinatal care), eating disorders, forensic services, sexual health, and support for people in prison with mental health, drug, or alcohol problems.

We offer great career development for both clinical and non-clinical roles, with ongoing training and support to help you learn and grow.

We are 'United in our Uniqueness' and committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and can be themselves, no matter their background or identity.
