The Trust has award-winning equality and diversity initiatives, along with staff health and wellbeing activities. We invest significantly in your development because when you feel valued and supported, we can deliver the highest quality care to our patients. We are a Level 3 Disability Confident Leader, have been recognised in the Working Families Top 10 Employers benchmark for five consecutive years, and hold a Carers UK Level 1 Accreditation. Through our staff networks and training opportunities, we strive to foster a just and compassionate culture at NELFT.

We are seeking to recruit Supervisors to specifically support the supervision of the Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHP) within the MHSTs. These post holders must have a good understanding of CBT and have clinically practiced using this model. We want our post holder to be able to lead by example in clinical practice and be able to support junior staff to develop their skills and knowledge of the evidence bases for our low intensity interventions.

The successful applicant will be enrolled on the CYP's Mental Health and Wellbeing Services supervisor course. This training is funded as part of the MHST program and a fundamental requirement for the post.

The Senior Clinician will be a graduate qualified health care professional, and ideally have formal CBT training for example:

· Qualified CBT Therapist

· Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT)

· Children and Young People-IAPT (CYP-IAPT)

Or will have substantial Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) clinical experience which includes CPD in delivering evidence-based psychological interventions.

Applicants need to be fully registered/accredited with the appropriate professional or regulatory body (e.g. HCPC, NMC, BABCP).

This Senior Clinician and Supervisor role will work closely with the MHST Locality Clinical Leads, the MHST Operational Manager, and other clinical colleagues/partner agencies.

The role is predominantly supervisory. However, the post holder will deliver clinical interventions, both targeted and under the Whole School Approach, to maintain professional registrations and continue to develop. The post holder will need to remain current in evidence-based interventions and have a good working knowledge of CBT. Supervisors are also key to service development in progressing and adapting interventions to ensure we are an inclusive service and contributing to research and development of the MHST's nationally.

Please see person specification and job description for full details and responsibilities required for this role.

This role appeals to clinicians who want to lead and influence practice while staying clinically grounded. It offers the opportunity to use CBT expertise to supervise and develop EMHPs, shape highquality, evidencebased interventions, and support children and young people at scale through the wholeschool approach. Candidates may also value the balance between supervision and clinical work, strong collaboration across MHST leadership, and the chance to contribute to service development, inclusion, and national MHST research and innovation—all while maintaining professional registration and growth.
