Chester, Cheshire, United Kingdom Northern Healthcare Full time

We're seeking a compassionate and motivated Mental Health Support Specialist to join our team at Northern Healthcare. As a key member of our multidisciplinary team, you'll play a vital role in enhancing the lives of our residents and supporting their families.

About the Role

Job Description:

In this rewarding role, you will support residents with daily living tasks such as cooking, attending appointments, medication management, and budgeting. You will encourage and assist our residents in re-learning life skills and developing new ones, all in a safe and supportive environment.

You'll celebrate every small step toward independence and mental health recovery, while also supporting residents through difficult times. Your focus will be on empowering residents to live full, active, and independent lives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support service users with day-to-day activities, such as budgeting, meal preparation, and domestic tasks.
  • Assist with grocery shopping, attending appointments, and taking prescribed medication.
  • Encourage residents to engage in their local community, try new activities, and explore leisure facilities.
  • Regularly review support plans to ensure they reflect residents' needs and aspirations.
  • Work positively with your team and adhere to all policies, including confidentiality and safeguarding.
  • Keep accurate, person-centred records and escalate concerns as necessary.

What We Offer

We provide full training, starting with a comprehensive induction, buddy scheme, and virtual learning. You'll also complete courses such as the Care Certificate, behaviour support, and first aid. There are endless opportunities for career development, including Health and Social Care Apprenticeships (Levels 2, 3, and 5) and management training.

Your Salary: £25,000 - £30,000 per annum, depending on experience.

We believe in providing our employees with a great work-life balance, which is why we offer 33 days annual leave (including public holidays), a company pension scheme, free car parking (at most sites), and many other benefits.

Please note: An Enhanced DBS check and two references (covering the last 3 years) are required before starting.
