Administrator - Schools and Colleges Early Support Service (SCESS)

Anna Freud is a world-leading mental health charity for children, young people and their families. Our mission is to close the gap in wellbeing and mental health by advancing, translating, delivering, and sharing the best science and practice with everyone who impacts the lives of children, young people and their families. More information about Anna Freud is available on our website.

We value diversity and aim to have diverse workforce that reflects the community and our service users, in line with our vision, values and inclusion commitments. We encourage applications from all sections of the community.

The vision of the Schools Division is one where all schools and colleges in the UK are mentally healthy. This means the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people is prioritised alongside their academic attainment. The Schools and Colleges Early Support Service works with schools to offer direct remote support to children, young people, families and school staff across England. Our ambition is to work in up to 200 schools providing direct support for mild to moderate mental health difficulties. The Administrator will sit within a small dynamic team, the Schools and Colleges Early Support Service, supporting the ambitious partnership between The Anna Freud Centre and Mind. 

We are looking for a person who is interested in learning more about the school environment and how remote therapy interventions are delivered. The post-holder will be involved in a large project to implement and imbed a new CRM, with opportunity to become a super-user for the CRM and be involved in training to new team members. There may also be opportunities to get involved in our children and young people’s advisory group or parent/carer advisory group.
