Posted 10 day(s) ago
Reference: 2422852
Job summary
As part of the expansion of Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) nationwide, we are delighted that Surrey was successful in obtaining further funding to expand our School Based Needs Service. We therefore invite you to consider being involved in this exciting opportunity to help to deliver the government vision and commitment to developing integrated mental health teams in schools.
We have established MHSTs working within selected groups of schools across each of the 11 Boroughs of Surrey, and are currently expanding across the county as we work towards 100% coverage by 2030. EMHPs are expected to work across multiple schools and their allocated clinic base.
We currently have multiple trainee vacancies across following Hub locations:

As a Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) you will be expected to work under supervision as part of a dynamic integrated mental health team. In your trainee year, you will spend two days a week studying onsite at University of Southampton and three days on placement in schools. Over the course of the training year you will develop knowledge and practice skills to employ a range of evidence based interventions for mild to moderate mental health needs via direct individual and group support for children, young people and their parents, in line with the university expectations. This approach requires creativity, flexibility and adaptability, and above all a passion for working with children and young people in educational settings.
Successful candidates will apply to Southampton University for a place on the 1 year PG Dip in Education Mental Health Practice, starting in January 2027. It is a requirement for this role to complete and pass this course.

Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner (North East Hampshire)
Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 10 day(s) ago
Reference: 2422851
Job summary
As part of the expansion of Mental Health Support Teams nationwide, we are delighted that SABP was successful in obtaining further funding to expand our MHST across North East Hampshire (NEH). We therefore invite you to consider being involved in this exciting opportunity to help to deliver the government vision and commitment to developing integrated mental health teams in schools.
We currently have established teams in Aldershot and Rushmoor, which we are expanding. Successful candidates will be joining one of the existing teams based at Aldershot Centre for Health.
Main duties of the job
As a Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) you will be expected to work under supervision as part of a dynamic integrated mental health team. In your trainee year, you will spend two days a week studying at University and three days on placement in schools. Over the course of the training year you will develop knowledge and practice skills to employ a range of evidence based interventions for mild to moderate mental health needs via direct individual and group support for children, young people and their parents, in line with the university expectations. This approach requires creativity, flexibility and adaptability, and above all a passion for working with children and young people in educational settings.
Successful candidates will apply to Southampton University for a place on the 1 year PG Dip in Education Mental Health Practice, starting in January 2027. It is a requirement for this role to complete and pass this course.
The Trainee EMHP posts are training positions and during this training period you will be employed as a Band 4. On successful completion of the course and qualification as an EMHP, employee's will have the opportunity to become permanent Band 5 EMHP's within their teams.
About us
Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is the leading provider of health and social care services for people of all ages with mental ill-health and learning disabilities in Surrey and North East Hampshire. We also provide social care services for people with a learning disability in Croydon and ASD and ADHD assessment services in Hampshire.
We actively seek to engage people who use our services and our communities in improving the mental wellbeing of the local population. We work closely with other NHS and voluntary sector organisations who provide services and support people who use services and carers.

Please note that we reserve the right to close posts as soon as sufficient applications are received.
Working from home contracts do not attract high cost area payments.
We look forward to receiving your application!
