  • Contribute to the team's goals by supporting volunteers, accurately recording data on service activities, and proactively improving service delivery.

Qualifications & Skills:

  • Strong background in providing mental health support or experience in social care settings (paid or voluntary).
  • Knowledge of mental health issues and intervention methods, and ideally a QCF Diploma/NVQ Level 3 in Care, or equivalent (or working towards).
  • Excellent assessment and care planning skills, along with resilience to manage challenging situations.
  • Ability to maintain accurate records, use relevant IT systems, and support service users' health and safety.

We offer a wide range of benefits, including PULSE, Wagestream, wellbeing support, flexible working, and a contributory pension scheme. We are committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, and engaged employer, and we welcome applications from everyone, including applicants with lived experience, those who are LGBTQIA+, people with a disability, and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.
