This is an exciting new opportunity to make a difference to the lives of deaf children, young people and their families across the South West region. You will be working with a dynamic NDCS team to support the development of new activities and programmes which build positive emotional health and well-being (EHWB) for deaf children and their families.

You will work in consultation with the ND CAMHS team as well as other key stakeholders to develop preventative mental health services for deaf children and young people at universal (Tier1) and targeted levels (Tier 2).

You will have responsibility for the development and delivery of EHWB services, building relationships and partnerships with other services and provide training and consultation to professionals working in mainstream services.

You must have a commitment to the EHWB of deaf children, be an excellent communicator, organised with sound administrative experience.
