This role is part of the newly established Kent & Medway service, _Mental Health Together (MHT) _for which Porchlight is one of the strategic partners; this is the transformed multi-agency offer, which brings all the services and agencies that support people with varying mental health needs much closer together.

This role is perfect for individuals with significant experience of working within a community mental health and or wellbeing setting, working with individuals with complex mental health needs to help them achieve their goals.

The role requires:

  • You have significant experience within a community mental health and wellbeing setting.
  • You will have the ability to listen to and understand people with complex mental health needs to find out what is important to them, and then make a plan together that they can achieve.
  • You will value working as a team to get the best possible outcomes for people, particularly where things have not always worked in the past.
  • You are passionate about improving people's experience of mental health services.

Working pattern: 9am to 5pm with some flexibility required. Working days negotiable to be agreed upon appointment between Monday to Friday.

_ Please note, both full and part time contracts are available. _

Base:
Negotiable across East Kent to be agreed upon appointment
