Greenwich, United Kingdom South East London Mind Full time

£30,113 per year
- 37.5 hours per week - full-time
- 1 year fixed-term contract
- Based at Greenwich Mental Health Hub in Plumstead, with work required across Royal Borough of Greenwich
- Hybrid working considered in line with policy

South East London Mind is working with Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and Bridge Support to deliver the **Greenwich Mental Health Hub**. This will form part of the new transformation of mental health services in the Royal Borough of Greenwich under the NHS Long Term Plan. The service will bring together the expertise of local primary, secondary and voluntary sector mental health care providers with the aim of providing flexible, holistic, and integrated services for adults with mental health problems.

Unpaid carers in our communities are supporting relatives, friends and neighbours, often with limited or no support, to live the best lives they can. The support of people with dementia, learning or physical disabilities, mental health difficulties or substance misuse problems by unpaid carers has been estimated to save the government close to the equivalent expenditure for the whole NHS.

We are looking for a **Mental Health Carers Advisor** who possesses an understanding of the challenges of unpaid caring and whose experience of working within mental health services includes support, prevention, recovery, and self-management. Applicants should possess effective skills in communication and have experience of completing assessments, managing a diverse caseload and working in a busy work environment. An ability to work independently but collaboratively, to be proactive and to show initiative is essential for this role.

The role will involve:

- Management of a diverse client caseload
- Providing recovery-orientated individual and group-based support to carers of adults with mental health problems
- Collaborative working with all partners involved in Greenwich Mental Health Hub work
- Undertaking holistic needs and risk assessments
- Commitment to regular training and supervision
- Effective contribution to the development and continuous improvement of the service

**Successful applicants will be expected to undergo an Enhanced Level Disclosure and Barring Service check.**

**Closing date**: Sunday 10th March

**Likely interview date**: Week beginning 18th March

We are a local Mind with a diverse workforce of over 400 staff and volunteers, working to support people with mental health problems and dementia in the boroughs of Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. Read about the benefits of working for us on our website.
