Vacancy Introduction
This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in developing the Mind Mate Support Team.
We are looking to recruit a Senior TEMHP co-ordinator on a fixed term basis to cover maternity leave up to November 2026. You will be expected to support the provision of high quality care to children, young people (CYP) and their families, and to offer clinical leadership across the service. You will also be a part of the wider service’s leadership team, contributing to service development and partnership working.
The MMST offers early intervention mental health support to children, young people, and their families within schools, colleges, and education provisions across Leeds. We are continually growing and supporting a newly developing workforce of EMHP's. Due to the nature of the role and the days in which trainees are in university and service based, there would be an expectation that your working days would atleast cover Mondays and Tuesdays.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop this role for this next year. As a Senior co-ordinator you will be expected to have an excellent understanding of what low intensity CBT is and be a point of contact for all trainee EMHP’s within the service. You will be knowledgeable about the university expectation and balance this alongside service target requirements. A key skill you will bring to the role is prioritisation to ensure the effective throughput of cases.
There will be a core expectation that you have regular liaison with the university to ensure affective communication, between the service, university and trainee EMHP’s to support them in their completion of the university course within the year. You will be expected to be the point of contact for the service for any challenges/concerns being raised regarding the trainee EMHP and to ensure regular communication with team managers and the service manager if escalation is needed.
You will also be expected to ensure that the trainee EMHP’s are supported in their clinical decision making. This will include identifying suitable allocations, further training needs, ensuring their supervision needs are met, offering enhanced supervision if challenges are identified and potentially offering specific case formulation/group supervision.
We welcome individuals who have a drive to improve service delivery as there will be opportunities to shape the way the service works. SCP’s are expected to hold a small caseload of CYP.
