**Reports to: Locality Co-ordinator**

**Salary**: £17,719.52

**Contract**:Fixed Term until 31st March 2024 with 6 months’ probation

**Hours**: 28

**Location**: Taunton and West Somerset

**Holiday**: 23 days plus days bank holidays pro rata

**Job Context**:
‘Open Mental Health' is a Somerset alliance of local voluntary organisations and the NHS. We are working in partnership to ensure that residents of Somerset get the support they need, when they need it.

Our shared ambition is to ensure that people living with mental health problems get the right support at the right time. Working together, we support people to live a full life, by enabling access to specialist mental health services, housing support, debt and employment advice, volunteering opportunities, community activities and physical exercise, to help support and improve their wellbeing and quality of life.

This role will be a big part of this exciting new initiative, where we value and adhere to a philosophy of ‘no wrong door’.

**Job Purpose**

As a Recovery and Wellbeing Worker, you will enable people with emotional, mental health and well-being needs to aspire towards and achieve their own goals. This role will be a hybrid between 1:1 and group support. As part of the wider alliance, we will be facilitating thriving group support and activity work in each area/district across Somerset which promotes the principles of social inclusion, recovery/enablement and independence. We are looking to recruit individuals who are able to motivate and engage individuals through a range of innovative group activities. The service will complement the IAPT services and contribute to the ‘Open Mental Health’ alliance that offers accessible support at each level.

**Main Tasks**:

- To provide both 1:1 and group support. This will involve planning and delivering creative, engaging and inclusive group and activity support work that encourages and enables people to improve/maintain their mental well-being.
- To support service-users in accessing the group support offer. This will include ‘hand-holding’ them and ensuring that they feel confident and ready to access this group offer or other services within the alliance.
- To provide 1:1 support that is person-centred and encourages active engagement in identifying and working through mental health and well-being needs.
- To encourage peer support within the group work.
- To enable service-users to have access to a wide variety of activities that are centred around the needs of the communities we are delivering in.
- To work flexibly and creatively to meet the needs of the service-users.
- To adhere to our inclusive way of working and support a diverse group of individuals. This will include supporting younger and older adults.
- To enable service-users to have access to information and signposting to other areas of support.
- To support as lead for information and guidance within the ‘locality hub’. This will involve understanding and sharing resources/services within the district.
- To work closely and collaboratively with both the voluntary and statutory sectors to ensure that we are connecting service-users with relevant services. This will involve warmly transferring them within the alliance and also working with those warmly transferred into the Mind in Somerset offer. This will be achieved by adhering to the ‘no wrong door’ philosophy.
- To maintain accurate record keeping/documentation and ensure that any storing or sharing of confidential information is in line with current GDPR regulations. This will include using our Views Database systems.
- Part of this role requires involvement in the running of the Taunton Community Day, which will involve regular weekend working.

**Other Duties & Responsibilities**
- To engage with and attend to own needs in the clinical supervision process.
- To engage fully with the values and community of Mind in Somerset. There is an expectation to attend and actively participate in staff meetings and training events when appropriate and/or required.
- To attend monthly one-to-one supervision with line manager.
- Abide by health and safety guidelines and share responsibility for own safety and that of colleagues.
- Carry out any other appropriate tasks requested by the manager, to ensure the effective delivery and development of the service.
- To work in an inclusive and culturally sensitive way for all service-users; being responsive to individual needs and challenging stigma and discrimination.
- To take prompt and appropriate action in a safeguarding situation. To clearly record all information and actions taken and to escalate to the Project Manager and COO as per procedure.
- To follow Health & Safety and Security procedures.
- To cover leave and absences where required.
- Any other duties as re quired.
