Reading, United Kingdom Together for Mental Wellbeing Full time

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an Outreach Worker in a brand new service providing welcoming and compassionate support for people who are experiencing mental health distress.

Delivered by Together for Mental Wellbeing, one of the UK’s oldest and most respected charities, the service will offer a variety of support options dependent on people’s needs. For some, it will be an opportunity to meet like-minded people and share lived experience, for others an opportunity to develop coping techniques, and link people in with other services in their local community.

Our Reading Your Way Community Outreach Service has been designed to make a real difference to people’s lives, and to target support to refugees and communities in more deprived areas of the borough of Reading.

As an Outreach Worker you will offer:
9 weeks of 1:1 personalised support, including an initial assessment, developing goals and a support plan. You will build therapeutic relationships with service users, creating an environment where they feel able to talk openly, and feel safe enough to move forwards in their recovery. Support will be guided by their needs and preferences, including areas such as:

- Self-management and coping strategies
- Accessing employment, training or volunteering
- Linking people into specialist housing, benefits, debt or finance services
- Linking people into community opportunities to tackle isolation
- Triage assessment for crisis support at our Breathing Space service.

Group workshops - an activity programme designed to meet local needs, including:

- Group programmes themed around wellbeing, coping strategies, self-management and facilitating peer support.
- Group sessions themed around areas of need, including food and mood sessions, and physical health drop-ins utilising the local SMI Passport and health reviews, delivered in partnership with health and the local VCS.
- Weekly groups to target isolation and facilitate peer support.

If you have not heard back within two weeks of the closing date, you have been unsuccessful at this time.
