We believe that everyone owns potential; its inside us all waiting to be discovered.

At SCL Education Group, we strive to be unique in our offering and delivery of a tailored curriculum to suit each partner we work with. This ensures that the learners we engage with are supported and given the best outcomes possible through a range of employability and skills activities.

SCL provides young people from all backgrounds with access to high-quality education and training within our safe, nurturing learning environments, and our expert specialism in using enrichment to engage and inspire.

We recognise the privileged role we play within the lives of our learners’ communities and have developed a culture of ‘seeing through the behaviors’ that have been developed because of their past experiences.

Our curriculum is designed to offer something for everyone, providing programmes in a range of disciplines to suit learners who may otherwise become NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training).

Main Purpose of Position

As an Education Mental Health Practitioner, you’ll play a key role in improving access to high-quality mental health support within our centres and online. You will be required to deliver evidence-based interventions to our young adults aged 16-19 with mild to moderate mental health needs, empowering them to thrive within their education and personal lives.

Your role will involve assessing and delivering tailored interventions directly to our young adults, while collaborating with the team, relevant external stakeholders, families, and internal stakeholders to co-create effective support plans. You’ll provide guidance and signposting to help our learners, ensuring every step aligns with safeguarding and risk management.
