Post: Mental Health Advisory and Inclusion Teachers
Grade: Teachers Main - Upper Pay Scale plus TLR2
This advert relates to key posts within the Emotional Wellbeing and Effective Learning (EWEL) Team, which is part of the Educational Psychology Service. The role of this team is to improve the wellbeing, achievement and resilience of vulnerable young people; and to support schools to develop their capacity to effectively meet the needs of all their learners.
You will be joining a multi-disciplinary group of professionals and will support work across the team. The team includes Educational Psychologists, Counsellors, Behaviour Support Workers and a range of Specialist Support Staff as well as other Specialist Advisory Teachers. The team provides:
• Assessment, screening and consultation in relation to the SEND and Inclusion needs of children and young people within school contexts,
• Advice and consultation on how SEND needs impact on learning and inclusion,
• Intervention at individual, group and whole class levels; and school development support,
• Training and network support for a range of evidence based programmes,
• Research and development support aimed at developing evidence based practice,
As part of the team there are considerable opportunities to develop your practice, and to become involved in a range of initiatives. The emphasis for these posts is in relation to the mental health and resilience aspects of work we undertake; but cross-over involvement to areas such as communication and interaction and cognition and learning are likely. There will be a planned induction arrangement that can be tailored to your interests and needs within the context of the defined role.
Candidates must be qualified teachers. We will require you to demonstrate considerable relevant experience in identifying and meeting the needs of vulnerable children within school contexts; and in offering support and leading practice within a team environment. You should have an energy and enthusiasm for working across age phases and in relation to changing agendas, and be capable of working flexibly within this context.
The successful candidate must be capable of independent travel to meet the requirements of the post, and will be required to apply for an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.
