Senior Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner – Mental Health Support Team (MHST) Calderdale

Do you want to help make a difference to thousands of people each year?

We have a unique opportunity for a Trainee Senior Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) to join Northpoint. This role will involve working across Calderdale to support low intensity clinical supervision to a number of Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs), as well as holding your own caseload.

You will join us on a permanent basis and in return, you will receive a competitive salary.

Why us?

We take pride in supporting primary and secondary schools across Calderdale, working to enhance the health and wellbeing, and future life chances of children and young people, as well as supporting school staff, parents and carers with training and awareness opportunities through a whole school approach. We also work with local partners and stakeholders to improve outcomes for children, young people, and families.

What you will be doing as our Senior Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner:

Day to day, you can expect to be supporting school settings to develop their understanding of the MHST and EMHP role. You will hold your own caseload, providing direct support to students, pupils and families at a higher level of need than EMHP support and/or working alongside EMHPs as necessary.

This role involves providing caseload management supervision and clinical skills support to EMHPs, including those currently in training at university. There may also be an opportunity to undertake a low intensity supervision course if not yet qualified as a supervisor. Collaboration is a key aspect, with regular engagement alongside other mental health teams in Northpoint and across wider Calderdale services.

What are we looking for in our ideal Senior Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner:

Children and Young People’s Mental Health CYP/CYWP or PGDip Education Mental Health Practitioner
Educated to degree level or equivalent
Two or more years post qualification experience within a children and young people’s educational or mental health setting, with children and young people with mental health difficulties and their families.
Evidence of delivering low intensity CBT
Evidence of continued professional development

If you have the skills, knowledge and experience we are looking for, and are passionate about making a difference, please click ‘Apply’ to be considered for our Clinician and Supervisor role. We would love to hear from you!

Closing date: 4 July 2025

We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible, as we receive a high volume of applications and reserve the right to close the vacancy early.

We may utilise digital interview methods.

We aim to be a talented, resilient and inclusive community. We welcome applications from all and offer a variety of flexible working/job share opportunities for both full and part-time staff.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff to share this commitment. Applicants to posts that are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act will require a DBS from the Disclosure and Barring Service before the appointment is confirmed.
