The role typically requires a recognised professional qualification in mental health, such as clinical or counselling psychology, mental health nursing, social work, or another relevant discipline, together with appropriate professional registration and substantial post-qualification experience. Candidates should have experience supervising staff, assessing and managing risk, supporting children and young people, and applying evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Strong communication, safeguarding knowledge, partnership working, record-keeping, and the ability to travel between schools are expected. Experience of working within NHS or multidisciplinary services and knowledge of the Mental Health Support Team framework are highly desirable.
