Empowering young minds & changing futures. You`re someone who cares deeply about making a differencenot just for today, but for a young person`s entire future. You bring a blend of clinical expertise, compassion, & creativity, ready to meet children & young people where they are & help them move forward with confidence. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing service in Central & West Lancashire, where your impact will help shape & develop support for children & young people. You`ll need to be a qualified Mental Health Practitioner, confident in using therapeutic interventions like CBT or solution-focused techniques, & experienced in working with children, young people & families, especially those facing emotional or behavioural challenges.

You`re a natural collaborator, able to build trusted relationships with schools, families & multi-agency partners, & you understand the power of early support in educational settings. Safeguarding, risk management & communication come naturally to you, not as tick boxes, but as vital tools for building trust & safety. You`re reflective, adaptable & committed to learning, with the drive to grow professionally & the values to guide others through difficult moments with hope & respect. If you`re excited by the chance to work in an amazing supportive, forward-thinking team & to use your skills to help children & young people thrive - we`d love to hear from you.
