Glasgow, United Kingdom Penumbra Full time

**Location: Bardowie Street, Glasgow**

**Salary: £21,536 - £22,296 per annum (£11.04 - £11.43 p/h equivalent)**

**Permanent**

If you’re looking for a rewarding career and to work within an inspirational team that really does make a difference, this is your opportunity to join our ARBD Team at Bardowie Street.

At Penumbra, we strive to create a culture and environment where people feel valued and inspired to reach their own personal goals. Our fundamental priority is to provide support which is safe and promotes recovery, social inclusion and citizenship for people with mental health challenges.

We recognise that the people we support have skills and experience that can bring about positive changes for themselves. Through an ethos of inclusion, equality and fairness, our staff are committed to promoting good mental health and wellbeing for people using our services.

Our ARBD supported accommodation is based in Bardowie Street in Glasgow’s Possilpark, and is an assessment centre for people who have been diagnosed with ARBD or possible ARBD. We provide a safe and positive environment in which people can develop the life skills and confidence to actively move towards and define their recovery.

The service provides bespoke and proactive support to identify and address the individual’s needs, placing them at the heart of their support. With an emphasis on independence and empowerment, people are helped to move toward self-identified goals. While there is an element of collaborative group work, this is at all times focused on improving self-esteem and addressing issues such loneliness, social exclusion and addiction in a supportive peer environment.

You will be passionate about working in a person-centred way with adults from a variety of backgrounds, and with a range of challenges. With a strong interest in people and a commitment to helping others, you will strive to make a positive impact on people’s lives and tailor support to enable people to fulfil their best potential.

We want you to grow and thrive We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.

**A Day in the Life as a Mental Health and Wellbeing Worker**
- Supporting residents to take their medication according to their individual plan while following policy guidelines.
- Calling GPs, pharmacies and other services on behalf of the people you support.
- Running a recovery focused group each morning, with mindfulness and exercises.
- Supporting people to go out into the community for example to the shops or to local recovery cafes.
- Supporting individuals through their daily routine, while finding ways to live safely with short-term memory loss.
- Provide one-to-one support for residents for whom you are their keyworker.
- Supporting a group out to activities such as bowling, the cinema, or out to dinner.
- Encouraging residents to engage with external support networks.
- Support plan work, including safety plans, medication plans and IROC, when appropriate.

This provides an example of what a day might look like for a Mental Health and Wellbeing Worker - however there is no “typical” day, as it all depends on the needs of the residents and what shift you are on. For example, a waken night shift is very different.
