Job summary
We are seeking an enthusiastic and skilled Senior Mental Health Practitioner (SMHP) to join our Mental Health Support Team (MHST) within Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
This is a varied and rewarding role, where you will hold a small clinical caseload of children and young people (CYP) with low to moderate mental health concerns, deliver early interventions in line with the CAMHS framework, and provide up to 10 sessions per young person.

Working closely with schools, GPs, social care, public health, and other partners, you will contribute to improving outcomes for children and young people across your locality.
"Working for the MHST for 3 years has been both interesting and challenging. As a Health Visitor in background, I am not the typical SMHP but with listening skills and training in some CBT previously, the University's Low Intensity Supervisors course developed my expertise alongside a supportive environment. Liaising with Mental Health Leads in schools, to identify Whole School Approaches, early interventions to children and their families, within the broader context of CAMHS has been enlightening." - JC

Head of Financial Control - Financial Accounts and Financial Services
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust View all jobs
Posted 15 day(s) ago
Reference: 2416246
Job summary
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust is looking for a Head of Financial Control who can do two things well: keep us safe, and help us get better.
This is a senior leadership role at the heart of our finance function, responsible for the integrity of our financial statements, the strength of our control environment, and our relationship with internal and external audit. You'll be the person the Trust relies on to make sure the accounts are right, the controls hold, and the auditors are satisfied.
But we're not looking for a caretaker. We want someone who sees a clunky reconciliation process or an inefficient month-end close and wants to fix it -- someone who's excited by what automation, data analytics and AI can do for financial control, not just familiar with the terms. You'll have real scope to modernise how Financial Control operates: automating what should be automated, simplifying what's become overcomplicated, and freeing up your team's time for the analysis and insight that actually adds value.
If you want a role where "we've always done it this way" is a problem to solve rather than a policy to enforce -- and where you'll have the backing of the Deputy CFO to do something about it -- we'd like to hear from you.
Main duties of the job
Day to day, you'll be the person who makes sure the Trust's financial statements tell an accurate story -- leading the production of month-end accounts, annual reports and governance papers that senior leaders can trust and act on. You'll be the one building the kind of relationship with internal and external audit that turns their findings into real improvements, not just a list of actions to close off.
You'll keep the Trust's finances safe day-to-day -- overseeing cash and treasury management, making sure suppliers get paid on time and debt gets collected, and holding the control framework together so it flexes with the organisation rather than getting in its way.
Where this role gets interesting is what you do next. You'll look at the processes your team runs -- the reconciliations, the approvals, the month-end scramble -- and ask why they still take as long as they do. Then you'll do something about it: applying Lean thinking, automating what should never have needed a human in the first place, and exploring what AI can genuinely do for accuracy and speed, always with a clear eye on the controls that have to stay intact. And you'll lead a team through all of this -- building people who are as comfortable redesigning a process as they are defending one at audit.
About us
Listen to why colleagues think we are a great place to work! - BHT - A great place to work (buckshealthcare.nhs.uk)
What does Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust offer you?
- As part of our BHT family, you'll benefit from learning and development opportunities to support your career progression.

Job summary
Band 8a MHST Operational Manager Mental Health Support Teams | North Chelmsford, Braintree & Tendring Base: Stapleford House, Chelmsford Help us lead the next phase of MHST expansion across Essex An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and enthusiastic Band 8a Operational Manager to join our established Mental Health Support Team (MHST) service at a significant point in its continued growth. You will be joining ahead of a major recruitment and mobilisation programme for our incoming new MHSTs, giving you a unique opportunity to help shape, build and support the new teams from the outset. Working alongside the MHST Head of Service, Clinical Leads and an experienced team of MHST managers, you will take a key operational leadership role in the development and mobilisation of services across the North Chelmsford, Braintree and Tendring areas. The role will be based at Stapleford House, Chelmsford, with travel across the locality as required.
Main duties of the job
What are Mental Health Support Teams? MHSTs work in partnership with schools, colleges and the wider children and young people's system to provide early mental health and emotional wellbeing support for children and young people. The service provides timely, accessible and evidence-based interventions, working collaboratively with children, young people, parents, carers and education settings. The Operational Manager has an important role in ensuring that services are safe, effective, responsive and well integrated with the wider mental health and wellbeing system. MHSTs include Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs) alongside a wider multidisciplinary workforce, and a key part of this role will be creating the operational environment in which both established and newly recruited staff can develop and thrive. The Job Description specifically identifies supporting EMHPs, trainees and senior staff, as well as ensuring effective induction, orientation, mentorship and development arrangements for new colleagues.
About us
NELFT NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health and community services for over 4.9 million people living in the London Boroughs of Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Barking and Dagenham, Havering, and across Essex. We work to ensure our patients, their friends and family, feel confident that their health needs are well met.

Job responsibilities
A key role in our next phase of expansion
This post will be onboarded ahead of a significant recruitment programme for our new MHSTs, and we are therefore particularly looking for someone with strong experience and knowledge of:
-
Recruitment and workforce mobilisation
-
HR and people management processes
-
Onboarding and induction of new staff
-
Supporting staff through periods of significant service growth and change
-
Operational and workforce planning
-
Complex project management
-
Building effective, supportive and high-performing teams
Experience of complex project management and managing major changes in service provision are essential requirements within the person specification, alongside effective leadership, staff and budget management, analytical skills and the ability to motivate teams through new challenges.
You will work closely with our recruitment and HR colleagues and the wider MHST leadership team to help ensure our new services have the right workforce in place, at the right time, with the right support around them.
Supporting our future EMHP workforce
A particularly important element of the role will be supporting our newly recruited EMHP trainees as they begin their journey within MHST.
You will help ensure that trainees and newly appointed colleagues receive a positive introduction to the service, have effective induction and support arrangements in place and feel part of both their individual MHST and the wider Essex MHST programme.
The Operational Manager is expected to ensure trainees are actively supported to meet their learning needs and to support new staff to integrate successfully into the team.
Welcoming new schools into MHST
As our teams expand, so will the number of education settings we work alongside.
Working collaboratively with the MHST leadership team, you will support the onboarding of new schools across North Chelmsford, Braintree and Tendring, building strong relationships with education partners and ensuring that expansion is well planned, coordinated and communicated.
Partnership working is fundamental to the role, with key relationships including education settings, primary care, local authorities, voluntary sector organisations and wider children's services.
What will you bring?
We are looking for an operational leader who is enthusiastic, organised, visible and comfortable working at pace.
You will need to be someone who can balance the immediate practicalities of recruitment and mobilisation with the longer-term task of building sustainable, high-quality teams.
You will bring:
-
Strong operational leadership and people management skills
-
Experience of recruitment, HR processes and workforce planning
-
Experience of managing substantial service development or change
-
Strong project management and mobilisation skills
-
Confidence managing staffing, performance, budgets and resources
-
An ability to build relationships across professional and organisational boundaries
-
A supportive leadership style, particularly when working with newly recruited and developing staff
-
Excellent communication, analytical and problem-solving skills
-
An understanding of mental health provision within schools and the wider children's mental health system
-
The ability to maintain momentum, manage competing priorities and turn plans into delivery.
The post also requires a professionally registered, post-graduate qualified psychological practitioner or graduate-qualified healthcare professional, alongside relevant management experience, as set out fully within the person specification.
You won't be doing this alone
Although this is a significant leadership role, you will be joining an already established and experienced Essex MHST service.
You will work alongside the Head of Service, Clinical Leads and a wider group of experienced MHST Operational Managers, providing an established leadership network with colleagues who understand the opportunities and challenges of growing MHST services.
This means you will have the opportunity to bring your own leadership experience and ideas while also benefiting from the knowledge, support and learning of managers who are already successfully leading MHSTs across Essex.
The role works particularly closely with the Head of Service and Locality Clinical Lead to ensure the effective day-to-day running of services, alongside responsibility for workforce planning, finance, staff in training, performance and longer-term sustainability.
Why join us?
This is an exciting opportunity to join MHST at a genuinely formative stage of our next phase of development.
You will have the opportunity not simply to manage an existing service, but to help build new teams, welcome new schools, support the development of our future EMHP workforce and shape how our expanding services operate from the very beginning.
If you are an enthusiastic and experienced operational leader who enjoys developing people, building services and turning ambitious plans into effective delivery, we would love to hear from you.
