Mental health support worker

Gateshead
Tabitha 365 CIC
Mental health support worker
£12.85 - £13 an hour
Posted: 12 December
Offer description

We are a specialist mental health support provider delivering high-quality, person-centred supported living and community-based services for adults with complex mental health needs.

Our work supports individuals with a range of needs including severe and enduring mental illness, acquired brain injury, trauma histories and physical health comorbidities. We pride ourselves on consistent staffing, trauma-informed practice and genuine enablement, not task-driven care.

We are expanding our teams and are looking for compassionate, emotionally intelligent Mental Health Support Workers who want to build long-term, meaningful work in mental health.

The Role

As a Mental Health Support Worker, you will provide 1:1, and small-team support to adults living in their own homes or supported accommodation.

You will work as part of a stable, well-supported team, helping individuals to:

*

Feel emotionally safe and understood

*

Develop structure, routine and confidence

*

Manage their mental health with dignity and choice

*

Re-engage with community life at their own pace

This role requires patience, empathy, emotional resilience and the ability to remain calm in complex or emotionally charged situations.

Key Responsibilities

*

Deliver person-centred, trauma-informed mental health support

*

Support emotional regulation, daily routines and wellbeing

*

Assist with medication in line with care plans and clinical guidance

*

Monitor mental and physical health and respond to changes appropriately

*

Support daily living skills, independence and enablement

*

Maintain clear, accurate digital care records

*

Work collaboratively with families, clinicians and managers

*

Promote dignity, choice, consent and rights at all times

Who We’re Looking For

Essential

*

Experience in mental health, supported living or care settings

*

A calm, respectful and reflective approach to support

*

Strong communication and observation skills

*

Willingness to work flexible shifts, including nights and weekends

*

Right to work in the UK

Desirable

*

Experience supporting autism, trauma or brain injury

*

PMVA / MAPA or similar training

*

Level 2 or 3 Health & Social Care qualification (or willingness to work towards)

We value attitude, emotional awareness and consistency as much as experience.

What We Offer

*

Competitive pay: £12.85 per hour

*

Paid sleep-ins and waking night enhancements

*

Comprehensive induction and role-specific training

*

Ongoing supervision, reflective practice and management support

*

Clear pathways for development and progression

*

Stable rotas and a focus on continuity of care

*

Digital care systems that reduce paperwork and support good practice

Why Work With Us?

We are not a volume provider. We invest in our staff because we believe safe, consistent relationships are central to recovery.

If you are looking for a role where you are valued, supported, and given the space to do mental health support properly, we would love to hear from you
