Our Glasgow Mental Health & Huntington’s Service provides person-centred support to adults living with complex and enduring mental health conditions or Huntington’s disease. We work alongside each person to build confidence, safety, and independence — helping them feel a true sense of belonging and connection in their community. You’ll join a team that’s trauma-informed, creative, and deeply compassionate, working closely with families, friends, and other professionals to design support that’s truly tailored to each individual’s needs and wishes.
IT skills are required for all our vacancies. Successful candidates will be required to register with the SSSC within 6 months of start date where applicable. We value lived experience; please read more about our views.
What the Role Involves
* Building trusting relationships: taking time to get to know each person, listening to their needs and worries, and offering reassurance and emotional support.
* Promoting independence: helping with daily living skills such as keeping safe, making choices, looking after physical and emotional wellbeing, and encouraging confidence to try new things.
* Creating meaningful days: supporting people to enjoy activities they love — from hobbies and social events to spending time outdoors or learning new skills.
* Connecting with the community: helping individuals build relationships, access local resources, and feel included and valued where they live.
* Working as part of a team: sharing insights with colleagues, families, and other professionals to ensure the best possible support for each person.
We tailor support to each person’s needs and wishes — from a few hours a week to available every day. You’ll have your rota in advance with a clear two-week pattern: one weekend on, one off, making it easier to balance work and home.
