Mental Health Housing Support Worker

7 months ago

Cardiff, United Kingdom Cardiff Mind Ltd Full time

We are delighted to announce our partnership with Cardiff and Vale UHB that will commence from the 1st April.

We will be making our Supported Accommodation available to our Health colleagues who have identified the need for this to be a key stage for their patients in returning to live in the community. Not only will this ease the pressures on the UHB but more importantly will be a stepping stone for patients to resume their best lives living independently.

Cardiff Mind has previously had a strong relationship with Cardiff Council in delivering similar services and it is this strong track record together with our reputation in providing services to the citizens of Cardiff that has brought about this exciting service development.

This initiative is a perfect example of the way in which Health, the Local Authority and the Third Sector can work collaboratively to improve lives of people who are experiencing difficulties with their mental health.

To deliver this new service we are actively recruiting for Support Workers both full time and part time and would be delighted to hear from anyone who wishes to make a difference.
