The people you support will have long-term mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and complex emotional difficulties (CED).

They will also be experiencing complicated social factors such as housing issues, financial difficulties, and social isolation, which are affecting their ability to live independently.

You will help people develop techniques to become more aware of, and manage, their mental health. You will also work with other local organisations to put any other support in place that people need.

  • The ability to develop supportive and trusting relationships with people.
  • Experience of delivering mental health support
  • Knowledge of mental health services in DGS.
  • The ability to develop good relationships with other professionals and organisations.
  • Experience of working independently and managing your own workload
  • Good literacy, numeracy, and IT skills.

Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm-with some flexibility required

Contract:
Fixed Term/Maternity cover until 1 st April 2025

Tuesday 27th February 202- Please note, salaries are pro-rata for part-time positions.
