We are looking for a compassionate and motivated Senior Wellbeing Practitioner who is passionate about improving children and young people’s mental health and helping them build confidence, connections and opportunities for the future.
Working within Kirklees Young People’s Social Prescribing (KYPSP), you will support children and young people aged 11–25 who are experiencing emotional wellbeing difficulties. You will combine structured wellbeing support with a personalised social prescribing approach, helping young people identify what matters to them and access activities, relationships and community opportunities that support their wellbeing.
You will recognise that mental health is influenced by a young person’s wider circumstances, including relationships, education, employment, isolation and access to meaningful opportunities. Working alongside each young person, you will agree achievable goals, build on their strengths and help them overcome barriers to taking part in community life.
Alongside managing your own caseload, you will provide day-to-day guidance and support to allocated practitioners, model good practice and contribute to the development of a safe, effective and inclusive service. You will work closely with the Operations Manager, CAMHS, schools and community partners to strengthen pathways and improve young people’s experiences of support.
This role requires someone who listens with empathy, values young people’s voices and brings enthusiasm for both direct work and supporting others to deliver high-quality care.

12 Month Fixed Term, Extension Intended
Start Date: ASAP (Close date: 26/10/2026 at 9am)
We are looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate and motivated Youth Wellbeing Practitioner to join our team and provide person-centred emotional health, wellbeing and practical support to children and young people.
This is a hybrid role bringing together the skills of a Wellbeing Practitioner and Youth Link Worker. The successful candidate will provide short-term, outcome-focused wellbeing support whilst also helping young people to identify and overcome wider social, emotional and practical barriers that may be impacting on their wellbeing.
You will work directly with young people on a one-to-one basis, building positive and trusting relationships and supporting them to identify their strengths, needs, goals and aspirations. Depending on the needs of the young person, this may include delivering wellbeing interventions, developing strategies to improve emotional wellbeing and resilience, providing information and advice, social prescribing, signposting and connecting young people with appropriate community services and activities.
The role will involve managing a busy caseload and working collaboratively with families, schools, professionals, community organisations and other services to ensure young people receive the right support at the right time.
You will be expected to work in a trauma-informed, person-centred and youth-led way, recognising that a young person's emotional wellbeing can be influenced by wider factors including relationships, education, confidence, social connection, housing, finances, physical health and access to opportunities.
