Mental Health Support Teams are part of an exciting National initiative, working in collaboration with education settings, to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people in response to the government’s Green Paper: Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision.

As Team Manager you will be responsible for ensuring the efficient and effective day to day delivery of the service within Greenwich, supporting the teams to provide a high quality, safe and responsive mental health and wellbeing service to children, young people and families within a number of local primary and secondary education settings.

You will work in close partnership with education colleagues, local authority and partner agencies and will develop strong working relationships with senior clinical, professional and managerial leads within Oxleas CAMHS and the wider Trust.

The service will be undergoing further expansion in line with National MHST targets and priorities, with the Team Manager leading the teams through this change to achieve the ambitious goals and continuing to improve the MHST service.
