Band 7 – MHST Senior Therapist  

In January 2022, Barking and Dagenham achieved a significant milestone by establishing its first two Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) as part of the national MHST rollout during Wave 5/6. We have since received further funding for an additional team Wave 9.

Each team is currently assigned to five schools, making a profound impact on our community. We take immense pride in our multicultural service, where our staff members represent diverse cultures and professional backgrounds. As a service, we foster innovation, motivation, and a deep passion for collaborating with the education sector to support our community through our schools.

We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity to support the launch of a new, fourth Mental Health Support Team (MHST) in Barking and Dagenham, scheduled to go live in September 2024.

We are currently seeking experienced, motivated, enthusiastic, and flexible individuals who are registered with a professional body to join the cohort of Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs) for the new team. Your employment will commence in September 2024.
