  2. Developing, piloting and evaluating new, cost-effective interventions and treatments for children and families facing mental health difficulties;
  3. Supporting mental health and education services to improve their practice, through the collection and evaluation of outcomes data and shared decision making;
  4. Offering teaching and training courses and building a global network of researchers, clinicians and mental health, social care and education professionals to ensure that new knowledge and ideas are shared as widely as possible;

The Educational Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) programme is a one-year postgraduate diploma course and is part of the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Psychological Training Programmes (formerly CYP IAPT). The programme trains graduate entry mental health practitioners to work in educational settings offering help for common difficulties in children and young people including anxiety, low mood and behavioural difficulties, primarily with a focus on CBT-informed evidence-based guided self-help interventions. The programme is a key part of the Green Paper proposals to increase the child mental health workforce.

In collaboration with University College London (UCL) as the degree awarding body, Anna Freud is recruiting a Practice Tutor to support the delivery of the EMHP Programme.

The Practice Tutor will be expected to facilitate practice tutor groups, contribute to the training and support EMHP trainees in a variety of ways to develop their learning and practice as EMHPs. The post-holder will also contribute to teaching sessions, undertake marking, personal tutoring and other similar tasks to support the delivery of the programme.

The ideal candidate must have knowledge and experience of delivering CBT or CBT-informed interventions for low mood and anxiety as well evidence-based interventions for behavioural difficulties and have experience in inclusive facilitation of small group learning.

Please email [email protected] with any job enquiries, or if you require assistance or experience difficulties when applying.
