You will be expected to facilitate and participate in planned and ad hoc group work and individual activities with service users. In addition to this you will be required to motivate and negotiate with service users who may be unwilling to participate in activity and to promote the benefits and outcomes that participation could generate, i.e. social interaction, well-being and independence.

The post requires an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual, with a caring, professional and empathetic approach towards people suffering from mental illness.
