As part of your role, you will offer therapeutic, non-clinical support and empower service-users through planning, grounding techniques, coping mechanisms and identification of ongoing support.

- To empower service-users to make informed decisions about their mental health and ongoing wellbeing.
- To work collaboratively with Somerset Alliance partners across other localities - both statutory and VCSE.
