Gravesend, United Kingdom Porchlight Full time

You will be one of the first people that those using Mental Health Together will meet, so you will have a strong commitment to ensuring that this first experience is positive, being a strong communicator as well as showing compassion.

This role is part of the newly established Kent & Medway service, Mental Health Together (MHT) for which Porchlight is one of the strategic partners; this is the transformed multi-agency offer, which brings all the services and agencies that support people with varying mental health needs much closer together. This ensures that people get the right care, without having to navigate service boundaries and without repeatedly telling their story.

As part of one team of professionals from across different organisations that make up Mental Health Together, you will value partnership and collaboration, recognising the different skills and understanding that each person brings to the team.

This role is perfect for individuals with significant experience of working within a community mental health and or wellbeing setting, working with individuals with complex mental health needs to help them achieve their goals. As well as understanding how mental health systems work, you will have good insight into local services and support, and how social factors can affect mental health.

The role requires:

  • You have significant experience within a community mental health and wellbeing setting.
  • You will have the ability to listen to and understand people with complex mental health needs to find out what is important to them, and then make a plan together that they can achieve.
  • You will value working as a team to get the best possible outcomes for people, particularly where things have not always worked in the past.
  • You are passionate about improving people’s experience of mental health services.

Working pattern: 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday with some flexibility required. 

Please note, both full and part time contracts are available.

Contract type: Permanent, full time.

Interview date: 18th June 2024

Please note, salaries are pro-rata for part-time positions.
