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.
