About us: The UWE Bristol Wellbeing Service (within Student and Academic Services) are seeking an enthusiastic Mental Health Practitioner with strong clinical experience to work on a part-time basis of 30 hours a week as a maternity cover position.
As a multidisciplinary team we provide Counselling and Mental Health Support to students and work closely with our internal partner services to provide effective coordination of support, and to empower our students to become ready and able graduates. We are committed to working creatively to support our students and offer a mixture of face-to-face online and telephone options to students.
This role will require the successful candidate, as part of the role, to work from 11am to 7pm every Tuesday so that we can meet the ever-changing needs of our student population by providing sessions outside of the normal 9am to 5pm working day.
About you: You will be an experienced Mental Health Practitioner with the ability to manage a busy caseload, work collaboratively with other services and external partners. You will provide a solution focussed approach wherever possible and will work alongside students to co-create support plans that enable them to work through psychological difficulties utilising their inner resources.
In addition to your caseload work, we will encourage you to provide input into service development/delivery using your individual experiences to provide training and presentations to colleagues as required and to participate in university-wide projects where necessary.
This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give both our staff and students access to everything they need to succeed.
