As a result, our model is humanistic and person-centred. Our core values are based on creating open, honest, safe spaces and conversations where all people’s strengths are valued.
In this role you will support individuals within a community setting to enhance their health, wellbeing, and quality of life, assisting them to connect with and access mental health services, voluntary sector services and community-based activities and support.
The role will be delivered through working as an integral part of both primary and secondary care services, to connect individuals to appropriate support at the earliest opportunity. To provide in-depth knowledge to colleagues in the wider system about specialist mental health services as well as community-based activities and support.
To help individuals navigate a range of mental health services and community activities/services in line with their individual needs and circumstances.
To undertake initial conversation / assessments of people as part of the LW duty system in accordance with agreed operational procedures. In addition to this, the Mental Health Link Worker will provide education and training to other staff (e.g. volunteers/peer support workers/community link workers).
