Bristol, United Kingdom Second Step Full time

Do you have compassion and empathy for people who are struggling with their mental wellbeing? Could you inspire hope for people who are struggling with their mental health?

**Second Step** is a leading mental health charity in the South West offering housing, support and hope to people with mental health and other support needs. Our vision is that we believe in a world where everyone affected by their mental health can create a positive future. We promote mental health and wellbeing by supporting people and communities to build brighter futures.

We are recruiting Recovery Navigators to join our teams in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire to work in an integrated way with our partners in the Mental health and wellbeing Integrated Network Teams (MINTs) to support clients with moderate to high enduring mental health difficulties to find coping strategies personally and within their community.

**About the role**

We are committed to working with a recovery-based approach and supporting people to meet their individual needs. Why not join our team to support clients on their recovery journey by:

- building a trusting and collaborative relationship with the client; demonstrating hope and courage
- completing individual assessments via an initial support conversation that will inform the client’s recovery plan and direction of support.
- supporting the client to utilise self-management tools e.g. a Wellness Recovery Action Plan to stay well.
- using a range of interventions, approaches, and tools (motivational interviewing, active listening, navigation, solution-focused support) that enables people to move positively through their recovery.
- navigating the ‘wider system’ which includes supporting the client to access appropriate support within their own communities via voluntary sector organisations, community groups, charities or referrals to statutory services like drug and alcohol support.
- enabling clients to make informed decisions about their mental wellbeing, maximizing their independence and providing an advocacy role where appropriate.

You will work as part of a multi-professional team with representatives from PCLS, Adult Social Care, AWP to name but a few, in order to complete support conversations and interventions with clients referred into the MINT hub. You may also need to attend daily Multi-Disciplinary Discussions (MDDs) within the Hub to discuss referrals following a support conversation.

Full details of this exciting opportunity can be found in the role profile.

- be passionate about improving the lived experience and health of people using mental health services.
- have a minimum of 2 years proven experience of working with people with mental health needs, or people with complex needs.
- be a good communicator, with experience of working as part of a busy and dynamic team, liaising with partners, and contributing to the delivery of this valuable service.
- have experience of working with people with long term mental health and complex needs, carrying out support plans and risk assessments. You will need to take a holistic view, with a recovery and psychologically informed approach.
- be confident in working independently within the local community, when required.
- be operationally line managed by the MINT Team Manager with input and support from the Second Step Partnership Manager
- have the ability to travel to several appointments daily including in rural areas with limited/ unreliable public transport is essential.
