At Walking With The Wounded, we support those who have served with mental health, employment and wraparound care coordination programmes tailored to the unique needs of the individual. Whether mentally, socially or physically wounded, we provide bespoke services dedicated to getting those who have fallen the furthest back on track and moving forward with their lives.
As part of Op COURAGE, the veterans mental health and wellbeing service, we will be employing a new Veteran Liaison Support Officer. This role will work in collaboration with Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust to support veterans in the mental health pathway.
The successful candidate will ideally be located in the Greater Manchester area with the ability to travel where required.
WWTW’s Care Coordination service involves the assessment of needs for your client, the sourcing of appropriate support and the ongoing navigation of that support. You remain the central point of contact as you support your service user to address their challenges, which may include a lack of secure housing, debt, social isolation, relationship breakdowns, lack of education and training, welfare issues or substance misuse.
We are looking for a Veteran Liaison Support Officer (VLSO) who can work within a muti disciplinary team and fully appreciates the patience, resilience and self-motivation that is required to support a dispersed and diverse caseload of individuals. You must be someone who is able to work independently, particularly in managing your time and caseload, whilst recognising that you are one crucial element of a wider team of support who will need to work collaboratively to get the best outcome for clients. We welcome applicants who have experience or specialise in housing, although it is not essential. Experience of working with veterans would be beneficial although again, not essential.
The Veteran Liaison Support Officer (VLSO) will have a caseload of ex-servicemen and women who may, at times, be facing multiple complex needs. Working with local delivery partners, you will make referrals for support, whilst retaining the overall caseworker responsibilities. Your role will be crucial to the success of the service user’s outcome. If you are an experienced caseworker with an understanding of working with clients who require tailored support, we would like to hear from you.
