Key interventions will include:

• Individual face to face work, e.g. anxiety, low mood, friendship and behavioural difficulties
• Group work, e.g. self harm and anxiety
• Group parenting classes, e.g. conduct disorder, communication difficulties
• Supporting the Senior MH Lead in the school or college to develop a whole-school approach and mentally healthy school
• Give timely advice to help CYP get right help and stay in school – integrated referral system

We are looking to recruit a dynamic and forward-thinking Clinical Team Manager covering one MHST in Wiltshire, based in Melksham, who will be responsible for and lead the day to day management and line management of the MHSTs.

• Demonstrate commitment to ensuring routine outcome monitoring is embedded within the development of the MHST’s in order to demonstrate improvements in outcomes for children, young people and parents/carers.
