Emotional Wellbeing Practitioner

You know that emotional wellbeing support is about more than ticking boxes. It’s about helping young people feel safe enough to open up, understood enough to trust you, and supported enough to believe things can improve.

You’ll need:

• A relevant qualification in emotional wellbeing, youth work, psychology, counselling, social care or a related field

• Experience supporting children and young people with emotional wellbeing, social or behavioural difficulties

• Experience delivering emotional wellbeing or pastoral interventions

• Knowledge of safeguarding, consent and emotional wellbeing needs affecting children and young people

• Confidence managing a caseload and working independently across community and educational settings

• Strong communication and relationship building skills with young people, families and professionals

• Ability to assess, manage and escalate risk appropriately

• Good organisational and IT skills, including maintaining accurate records

• Ability to travel independently in line with the requirements of the role

Experience within healthcare, education or multi agency settings, along with training in areas such as trauma informed practice or Youth Mental Health First Aid, would be welcomed, but they are not dealbreakers.

If you’re someone who wants to help young people feel stronger, more confident and less alone when life gets difficult, this is the kind of work you’ll feel proud of.
