Job summary
Calderdale's new school-based Mental Health Support Team (MHST) will be part of the innovative Thrive Open Minds Partnership (OMP) of children & young people's mental health services.
You will already have a relevant and recognised CYP IAPT low intensity qualification (CYWP or EHMP). We will also consider candidates with an adult IAPT PWP qualification.
When consulted on the workforce, children and young people have told us they want to be supported by staff who can identify with them, who have empathetic skills, who listen, and who involve them in decisions about their care. Young people also felt the Open Minds Partnership workforce should be representative of the population they support.
Therefore, we are particularly interested in hearing from candidates who will help to make the Mental Health Support Team representative of the Calderdale population in terms of ethnicity, disability, sexuality, and lived experience (i.e. experience as service users).

Experience of providing evidence-based mental health interventions to children, young people and families
