**Job overview**:
The Cheshire and Wirral Community Wellbeing Alliance are working together to transform community mental health services, providing holistic, person-centred care for people with mental health needs and to support people to live a full and meaningful life. We facilitate access to a combination of support, to provide the best chance to improve wellbeing and quality of life in the longer term.

Health and social care professionals work exceptionally hard to provide the best care for people. The Cheshire and Wirral Community Wellbeing Alliance will create easier access to complementary support in communities, to address wider factors impacting on people’s mental and physical health and wellbeing, such as housing support, debt and finance advice, physical exercise, community interest activities and employment support.

The Alliance’s vision is for individuals to be at the heart of all that we do, shaping care and opportunities around the needs in the community.

We will strive to prevent mental health crises and ensure that anyone in need has access to the right care at the right time in their own community.

**Main duties of the job**:
We are looking for people who can join us in this time of exciting transformation, to help us realise the vision to provide person-centred care and support in the right place at the right time for the Cheshire and Wirral communities that we serve.

The Central and East Administration Service, based in the Community Mental Health Team Macclesfield is looking for a Band 2 Administrative Support Officer who can help make this transformation a reality.

The current staffing team are embracing this transformation and are keen to develop our services to improve the experience of both clients and staff alike.

**Working for our organisation**:
