**Background**:
First Step Trust (FST) is a national charity that provides opportunities for people excluded from working life because of mental health problems or other disadvantages in secure and community settings.

We do this by operating a wide range of trading social enterprise businesses that provide opportunities for volunteers to gain exposure to the pressures and demands of real work, gain skills, experience, training, qualifications and progression towards employment. We call these volunteers members of our workforce.

FST Salford is a project commissioned by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation

Trust (GMMH NHS FT) to provide a non-clinical service that supports their service-users’ recovery, alongside other clinical services within their medium secure hospital setting in

Prestwich.

The FST project currently provides a range of opportunities for our workforce in practical, office, catering and retail work sections for adult males and females. These work sections provide our workforce opportunities to contribute to managing the finance & administration of the work sections and contributing with our practical work sections, alongside other meaningful activities to support their recovery.

**Job Summary**:

In practice this means engaging and working alongside and including members of the workforce as equals in all aspects of the of work required, including; health & safety, training, purchasing of materials, invoicing customers and working within established FST policies and procedures.

You will be required to provide feedback to the project manager on the performance and development progress of each individual workforce member across the work sections.

All of the work is undertaken as it would be in any other commercial environment or place of work, and no experience of working within a secure setting or working with people with mental health issues is required.
