Hours: 37.5 per week

Groundwork London is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all members of the community. We are particularly seeking applicants from under-represented backgrounds including but not exclusive to, males, transgender people and those from an Asian background.

We are looking for a passionate and experienced Education and Whole School Coordinator to join our team which provides a range of vital therapeutic interventions across primary and secondary schools in Southwark. The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) works to improve children, young people and their families’ mental health and wellbeing through a range of early intervention and prevention programmes across the diverse borough of Southwark.

This unique role has been created to build on our successful Education and Whole School Approach services within Southwark. The role will work closely with the Education and Whole School Approach Lead to develop strong relationships with schools, facilitating systemic change and embedding whole-school approaches to mental health and well-being. A key focus of this role will be developing and implementing trauma-informed practices tailored to each educational setting.

Groundwork’s MHST is part of a national, government-funded, pioneering programme transforming mental health and wellbeing provision for children and young people via early intervention. The service was launched in Southwark in January 2022 and currently works across 20 schools, with plans to expand over the academic year. The MHST is dynamic, flexible and diverse, representing the community which we serve. We have been awarded funding to continue our expansion, and are therefore seeking four passionate, experienced and skilled individuals to train as Educational Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs) and work within our service.

The role will work alongside existing MHST staff to deliver evidence-based individual low-intensity CBT interventions with children, young people and their parents/carers.
