PLEASE APPLY USING THE SCHOOL'S APPLICATION FORM

To work across two sites: Turves Green Boys' School, Northfield and Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School, Bournville. Term time only. 37 hours per week.

We are seeking to appoint a Mental Health Support Worker to work as part of the Safeguarding and Pastoral Team in supporting pupil’s mental health. The successful candidate will be motivated, resilient and able to work alongside pupils that can sometimes have distressing experiences. The role will involve delivering high quality one-to-one or small group interventions, using data to create a strategy to maximise support for pupils and support staff to improve whole school understanding and awareness of mental health.

About you: 

To be successful for the role you will need to hold an appropriate qualification to be a mental health practitioner and work with a range of different types of therapy including CBT principles (this may include a degree or post-graduate degree that links to the topics of children and young people, health and wellbeing, Psychology amongst others). You must also be registered with HCPC/BACP (Health and Care Professions Council/British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). 

About us:  

It is an exciting time to join an expanding and thriving Trust. We always say ‘if it’s not good enough for our own families it’s not good enough for our pupils’ and we really mean what we say. Every child deserves an exceptional education. Our high expectations underpin everything. We believe no one wants to work somewhere where things are ‘ok’. It’s frustrating when other people aren’t working as hard as you are.  

We are committed to fostering a culture that values the health and well-being of all employees at Matrix Academy Trust. We are proud to offer a comprehensive well-being package to all employees, including access to 24/7 online GP, physiotherapy services and counselling services. We also offer all employees annual health checks which includes the flu jab, BMI checks and a general discussion with a qualified Nurse.  

To apply, please complete our application form available from https://www.workatmatrix.co.uk/ and send to Headteacher Mr J Till: jtill@tgbs.co.uk 

You may also wish to contact him to arrange an informal look at the school for yourself.
