Mental Health Support Worker
Newcastle-under-Lyme
£18,870 per annum
Contract Type: Full Time, Permanent (37.5 hpw)
Role 1: Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm
Role 2: shifts over 7 days, evenings (1pm - 9pm) & weekends (9am - 5pm)
Our client is making homelessness history, it’s a big statement, but they’re not alone in achieving it. They’re part of the national movement tackling homelessness.
They’re looking for a Mental Health Practitioner to support customers with mental health needs, in crisis in their supported accommodation across Newcastle-Under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent.
You won’t just scratch the surface, instead with their unique approach, you’ll work together with customers to identify their support needs and address any wider issues associated with homelessness. You’ll provide support in their supported housing schemes, floating support services and their move-on accommodation to help them live a happy, healthy and independent life. Sometimes we all need a little help along the way, so you’ll empower customers to regain independence and help them understand what it takes to manage their own money and tenancy.
You’ll work in close partnership with other services to provide a tailored support that meets the needs of each individual. Building and maintaining relationships, working with colleagues and partners, and attending regular internal and multiagency meetings to make sure that customers are kept at the heart of everything they do.
This is a role with purpose so if you have experience of working with adults with complex needs, a genuine compassion and understanding for people affected by homelessness and a drive to make real lasting change, then they want to hear from you.
The successful person for this role will need a full UK Driving Licence with access to their own vehicle for work purposes and will need to be DBS checked too.
Help them to give those without a plan, voice or home to build concrete futures by tackling the issues that keep people from finding their own home.
