    <h2>Job description</h2>
    <h3>Job responsibilities</h3>
    <p>The role will involve delivering workshops, webinars and assemblies in schools as part of the whole school approach to mental health. There will also be attendance at promotional events which include parents evenings and events with partner agencies. Your role will be undertaken as directed by the link worker allocated to the schools.</p>
<p>Your work will be supervised and supported by the wider clinical team for each locality and there will be opportunities for additional development through the trust learning and development programme.</p>
<p>A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is required for this post; however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.</p>
<p><strong>Please see attached job description for full details.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health &amp; Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health &amp; Care visa.</strong></p>
