Are you a Mental Health Officer available for a new role?

Do you want to make a difference to Mental Health services for Primary aged children?

At Tempest Resourcing, we have a great opportunity to work with children in Primary Schools in North and East London. You would be a key point of contact for learners with mental health needs to turn to for advice and support.

In light of the current on-going Coronavirus pandemic, the government and Primary Schools are placing an emphasis on children and young people’s mental health. This will be a vital issue for schools to address once children return to school. Ahead of this, our client schools are looking for individuals who have recognised qualifications in Mental Health, Social Work or any relevant professional qualifications. Prior experience of working in schools is desirable but not essential. You will require excellent team working skills and a high level of self-motivation.

The successful candidate will

     Ensure the voices of children are heard

     Ensure any planned changes by the school are implemented

     Work in alignment with the class teachers, SLT and external services

     Enjoy building and maintaining relationships

     Be passionate about working with young children

    Have empathy, compassion and active listening

If you are hard-working, with a collaborative approach and would like join a school to help improve children’s mental well-being, then please apply for this Mental Health Officer position.
