Do you want to help make a difference to thousands of people each year?

We have a unique opportunity for a Clinician and Supervisor to join Northpoint. This role will involve working across Calderdale to support low intensity clinical supervision to a number of Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs), as well as holding your own caseload.

Why us?

We take pride in supporting primary and secondary schools across Calderdale, working to enhance the health and wellbeing, and future life chances of children and young people, as well as supporting school staff, parents and carers with training and awareness opportunities through a whole school approach.

You may also be on your own training journey to complete a low intensity supervision course if you are not yet qualified as a supervisor. You will work alongside other mental health teams in Northpoint as well as wider Calderdale services.
