The Reflexions team can provide the opportunity to further develop work within the field of young people's mental health and wellbeing with a focus on development of whole school approaches to mental health and wellbeing and the development of the think family approaches within the schools environment.
The mental health support teams provide individual interventions, guided self-help, parenting and whole school approaches. Working with parents/carers and teaching staff is also part of the service offer.
The post holder will be knowledgable and experienced in mental health problems and psychiatric disorders and will be expected to carry out in-depth mental health assessments including risk assessments where required. The postholder will also need to be the link worker between the team and the educational settings to ensure that children and young people receive the most appropriate care and interventions and well as being experienced in multi-agency working. Support, advice and consultation to families/carers and other professionals involved in the life of the child/young person will also need to be provided.
