An exciting opportunity to join a growing Arts Therapies workforce within the Lambeth Mental Health Support in Schools Team (MHST). You will hold your own individual art therapy caseload, as well as supporting the development and facilitation of arts-based workshops and groups within educational settings. This post may be suitable for a newly qualified Art Therapist.
The MHSTs are a new service designed to help meet the mental health needs of children and young people in education settings. They are made up of senior clinicians, CAMHS Practitioners and EMHPs or also known in SLaM as Education Wellbeing Practitioners (EWPs) . They will be based across education settings as an additional resource within a whole-system approach to promote resilience and wellbeing, support earlier intervention, enable appropriate signposting and deliver evidence-based support, care and interventions. The MHSTs will partner with their education settings to design a bespoke offer, based on the school’s individual needs and will work with the mental health services that are already in place, such as counselling, educational psychology, school nurses, pastoral care, educational welfare officers, VCSEs, the local authority, including children’s social care, and NHS Children and Young People Mental Health Services (CYPMHS).
SLaM employ around 5000 staff, have a budget of around £381 million, and serve a local population of 1.1 million people. We have more than 230 services including inpatient wards, outpatient and community services.
