Would you like to be part of a new, exciting and innovative service working with young people with an ethos of prevention and early intervention?  

The Wellbeing in Mind Team deliver evidence-based early interventions for children and young people, working across both educational settings and healthcare sectors in England.  We currently have 5 Wellbeing in Mind teams across North Yorkshire, which are embedded within education settings

The Wellbeing in Mind team has 3 functions:

1. Support the development of a whole school (or college) approach (WSA) to wellbeing.  This can include, but is not limited to, supporting sites to develop and implement mental health and wellbeing policies, development of resources, supporting campaigns and delivering training, assemblies and PHSE curriculum.
2. Provide timely advice and consultation to education staff.  This is designed to support teaching staff to build their skills and confidence in supporting the wellbeing needs of their students/pupils.  This is offered in both a formal and informal way.
3. Undertake direct assessments and intervention for young people within education.  We offer a low intensity service model, predominantly using cognitive-behavioural therapy.

We are looking to recruit a Whole School Approach (WSA) Practitioner to cover our Harrogate and  Selby Teams. This is a brand new position to coordinate the whole school approach activities and resources.
