Band 6 – Mental Health Advisor – Students – London

Pulse seeks to recruit an experienced Band 6 Mental Health Adviser to join our client’s private service based in London. The post is available to candidates who can start as soon as possible, offering full-time hours per week in a locum role. The post holder will be required to begin as quickly as possible for a period of 8-12 weeks.

This is a critical role in providing support and specialist advice to students who are primarily experiencing a long and enduring mental health condition(s). The support offered will predominantly consist of developing and finalising academic support plans for the student, designed to remove barriers to study and educational attainment. However, specialist guidance around a range of topics, such as self-care, is also required, in addition to signposting to resources and internal/external support services where appropriate. This is all with the aim of providing holistic support to the student, reducing the risk of mental health crises, and encouraging engagement and student retention. The potholder, as part of the disability and mental health (wellbeing) team, will also be expected to offer support to students with additional disabilities such as physical health conditions, visual/auditory impairments, and specific learning differences. This will include, on occasion, carrying out screenings for students who are concerned that they may have a particular difficulty learning.
