Jami is the mental health service for the Jewish Community. Jami’s focus is on recovery; moving from lack of control and autonomy to becoming an active member of the Jami, Jewish and wider
community.
Jami’s education service, Head Room, contributes to our optimistic vision of enabling people to live empowered lives aided by the personal development and educational opportunities provided through
courses, events and seminars. Jami Head Room is an outward facing service engaging with the diverse Jewish community to provide learning and development to improve mental wellbeing and
help combat the stigma of mental illness. Jami Head Room works in schools to help build resilience in young people by giving them the information and skills to better manage their mental health and
emotional wellbeing.
At an exciting stage in the development of our Head Room education service we are looking for a dynamic individual to deliver a psychoeducational wellbeing programme to young people attending
JCoSS, a Jewish secondary school in New Barnet. The individual will develop an optimistic, strengths based education programme that aims to contribute to the building of resilience in the young people who engage with the project.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual who is a self-starter with a real enthusiasm and commitment to young people. As a member of the Jami Head Room education team you will also benefit from supervision and development opportunities, as well as working with other Jami colleagues.

Thank you for helping to make Jewish News the leading source of news and opinion for the UK Jewish community. Today we're asking for your invaluable help to continue putting our community first in everything we do.
For as little as £5 a month you can help sustain the vital work we do in celebrating and standing up for Jewish life in Britain.
Jewish News holds our community together and keeps us connected. Like a synagogue, it’s where people turn to feel part of something bigger. It also proudly shows the rest of Britain the vibrancy and rich culture of modern Jewish life.
You can make a quick and easy one-off or monthly contribution of £5, £10, £20 or any other sum you’re comfortable with.
100% of your donation will help us continue celebrating our community, in all its dynamic diversity...
Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
