Central Notts Moving Forward is a floating support service for people with mental health problems covering Mansfield and Ashfield districts, working in partnership with local Living Well Teams. We are looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate Support Planner who would thrive in a community-based service where no two days are ever the same.

The Moving Forward service has a long and successful record of supporting people to achieve and make key, positive changes to their own lives. If you join our dynamic and motivated team, you will carry your own caseload and support your colleagues to excel at all times.

**Duties & Responsibilities**
- Ideally you should have a working knowledge of the support needs of people with mental health problems living independently in their own home but being able to demonstrate transferrable skills and a commitment to continuous learning would be acceptable.
- You would be expected to keep accurate and relevant support notes, demonstrate how to resolve problems, advocate and communicate at all levels with various community agencies.

**This job might be for you if**:

- You are a great listener, you are empathetic and understand the needs of people struggling with their mental health, benefits, housing, debt and independent living.
- You are resilient. You bounce back from difficulties and can manage stressful situations in a calm and positive way.
- You thrive working as part of a diverse team and are good at communicating with others.
- You are committed to responding effectively, empowering people to find self-confidence and a respect for the individual.
- You are able to understand and follow policies and procedures and have a strong awareness of professional boundaries.

The role requires flexible and creative effort from you that can aid the development of the people we support. A professional approach and commitment to support vulnerable beneficiaries of this service are a must. Moving Forward staff are AGILE working - AGILE is a flexible approach to working that allows employees to deliver the full duties and responsibilities of their role but at the same time enables them flexibility on where and when they work, so helping people achieve a better work-life balance. A set of IT kit is provided to enable employees to work from different locations. Postholder must have a current driving licence and access to a car in order to cover several local county districts (mileage paid).

**Why Join Us?**
- Working for Framework is a great way into social care. We invest in you and encourage career progression - providing a full induction, e-learning and classroom training, management development pathways, fully-funded professional qualifications and more.
- Your wellbeing is important to us. We emphasise wellbeing in all our working environments and employ a Wellbeing Practitioner to support our staff.
- Employee assistance programme, salary sacrifice schemes.
- Stakeholder pension, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and paid sick leave.
