The Service
The CHUMS Milton Keynes Emotional Wellbeing Service is funded by the Milton Keynes County Council following a successful early intervention pilot. The team will provide early intervention and prevention support, focussing on community engagement for children and young people aged 7 to 18 (and up to 25 for those with a SEND). The service will integrate with other local organisations (e.g Mental Health in Schools Teams or MHSTs) services to minimise duplication of support, whilst retaining client choice.
Staff will be based in the community and provide a hybrid model of:
- Drop-ins/consultations
- Workshops
- Groups
- 1-1
The service will need to work closely with their communities to identify and their support needs. The role will have elements that can be undertaken in a hybrid working pattern, including both remote and face-to-face work. Travel across Milton Keynes and parts of Bedfordshire will be required.
