Study Details: 2 years PT
With a balance of academic and work-based learning, this PGDip Senior Wellbeing Practitioner: Children and Young People course has been designed to provide opportunities for you to complete four academic modules, whilst maintaining a clinical role in practice.
This approach to study will allow you to identify key issues in practice by applying the theoretical skills learned from the course into practice.
You will be equipped with therapeutic knowledge and practice-based skills in both clinical and case management supervision. This will focus on developing your communication skills, leadership management and knowledge of interventions in learning disability and autistic spectrum disorder practice.
This course has been developed as a direct response to the Government’s mandate which seeks to improve access and quality of mental health support for children and young people. As a Senior Wellbeing Practitioner, you will add to this core team, as well as providing development opportunities for graduates of the PGDip Education Mental Health Practitioner for Children and Young People programme.
You should have a minimum 2:2 undergraduate honours degree in a relevant subject or equivalent. You will also be expected to have a minimum of 2 years’ experience in a CYP mental health setting post qualification.
You must be in suitable employment to be registered on the programme. You must be employed by your sponsoring organisation and as such, all responsibilities for employment are held by the employer.
You should have completed either Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) or Children’s and Young Peoples Wellbeing Practitioners (CYPs) training and currently be employed in one of these roles.
You are required to be an experienced practitioner, as evidenced by 2 or more years working therapeutically, clinically, or consultatively within an educational or community mental health setting, with children and young people with mental health difficulties. Applicants with less than two years’ post qualifying experience may be considered depending on previous experience.
