Wells, United Kingdom Rethink Mental Illness Full time

Rethink are looking for an experienced and passionate Mental Health Support Worker to work as part of our inspiring Team at Keward House and Burcott Road.

Weekend work available*

Imagine being part of an organisation whose common purpose is to help those who are severely impacted by mental illness. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity – and that’s why equity is one of our core values. 

JOIN THE TEAM

The Open Mental Health initiative is a Somerset alliance of local voluntary organisations including Second Step, Rethink Mental Illness, Mind in Somerset and the NHS. We are working in partnership to ensure that residents of Somerset get the support they need, when they need it. 

How you will make a difference

As a Mental Health Support Worker you will work across both locations and will offer people affected by mental illness the support and help they need to regain their confidence and get involved in everyday social and workplace activities. You will be working closely with service users to achieve their own personal goals and access all the support they need on their recovery journey. 

Essential skills and experience required:

  • I have transferable life/work experience to apply to this role.
  • I am a good listener, empathetic, understanding, kind, patient and willing to learn
  • I can demonstrate behaviours consistent with the values of the Charity.

If you are looking to work more flexibly bank work could be ideal for you - you may be retired, looking to do additional shifts around your current role or would like to work around your family commitments. 

Caring for our people. 

We offer a wide range of support. Some of our benefits include: 

  • Wellbeing support: We also have an Employee Assistance Programme with access to appointments 
  • Taking time for you: You are entitled to holiday pay in accordance with the Working Time Regulations. 
  • Planning for the future: We have a contributory pension scheme. You are automatically enrolled into our pension when you meet the earnings threshold 
  • £300 when you introduce a Friend: receive up to £300 when you introduce a friend or family member 

Who are we? 

We’re Rethink Mental Illness, a leading charity provider of mental health services in England. We support thousands of people through our groups, services, policy, campaigns and advice and information. Our work supports us in delivering on our mission: “A better life for everyone severely affected by mental illness.” 

It is an exciting time to join our growing charity. We are on a transformation journey, one that supports the delivery of the organisation strategy – delivering Communities that Care. Supporting employees, managers and leaders through this change is a key priority for the People function. Just like its key that we attract diverse people to come and work for us. 

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

Diversity is important to us and we appreciate difference through difference, inclusiveness and belonging. It gives us a deeper understanding of the world, our society and the diverse communities we’re working with. By including everyone, we are able to draw on the unique experiences and expertise of our people to help shape and enrich our workplace and improve our services. One way we are doing is through our valued staff networks which play a critical and highly valued role in keeping us focused on creating a diverse, inclusive and engaged employer.  We recognise and support staff networks for our Black, Asian and minority ethnic and our LGBTQIA+ colleagues. We are also proud to have been awarded Disability Confident Employer status and are a signatory to the Business in the Community Race at Work Charter.

Becoming a truly anti-racist organisation

We have an ambition of become a truly anti-racist employer, campaigning organisation and service provider - and in our efforts to influence policy and wider societal factors impacting on mental health set out in our anti-racist statement . We have designed a multi-year anti-racist programme of work contained in our Race Equality Action Plan which demonstrate our intention to hold ourselves accountable and be judged on our progress on becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

We therefore actively encourage and welcome applications from everyone, including applicants with lived experience, those who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (or questioning), Intersex and (asexual) (LGBTQIA+), people with a disability, and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.
