We are excited to be recruiting an Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) or a Children’s Wellbeing Practitioner (CWP). The Suffolk Mental Health Support Team (MHST) is based within education settings, ensuring children and young people receive faster access to earlier mental health support, and the successful candidate will play a key role in delivering this service.

We are a dynamic mental health team working in a creative environment to continue developing this new service. Suffolk has had MHSTs since 2020, and we continue to expand.

You will work closely alongside a team of mental health professionals, utilise regular supervision sessions, reflective practice, and training opportunities in the team to continue to develop your practice and ensure a high level of clinical support is provided.

You must have successfully completed the EMHP course or equivalent for CWP. However, we would welcome applications or interest from trainee EMHP’s /CWP’s who are about to qualify.
