This is a unique chance to work with a diverse range of service users, provide flexibility and absorb knowledge and experience from the wide variety of services NS Mind has to offer. You can be sure that you will receive the very best support from us to help you thrive in this role. We are proud recipients of a national Mind award for the quality of our service provision.

- Provide line management for our Adult Group Coordinator.
- Provide a professional one-to-one counselling service (including face-to-face, remote and telephone counselling, where required) to adult and CYP clients presenting a broad range of common mental health issues.

- Support the development of our online services, for both adults and CYP.
- Attend/facilitate peer support groups, drop-ins, or workshops to support delivery or share learning.
- Work flexibly to allow us to offer the best service possible to all clients - this may involve occasional evening work and will involve providing short-term or long-term cover for staff absence or ad-hoc contracts.

- Be prepared to work in a variety of ways (not always counselling) across a range of internal services, both corporate and core.
- Work in a time limited, but appropriate way with clients to help them identify, understand, and resolve or manage the issues which have brought them to our services.
- Maintain up to date knowledge of issues which affect the mental health of individuals, families, and communities. Maintain knowledge base by attending relevant training and undertaking relevant reading.
