At Penumbra, we strive to create a culture and environment where people feel valued and inspired to reach their own personal goals. Our fundamental priority is to provide support which is safe and promotes recovery, social inclusion and citizenship for people with mental health challenges.
We recognise that the people we support have skills and experience that can bring about positive changes for themselves. Through an ethos of inclusion, equality and fairness, our staff are committed to promoting good mental health and wellbeing for people using our services.
Our ARBD supported accommodation is based in Bardowie Street in Glasgows Possilpark, and is an assessment centre for people who have been diagnosed with ARBD or possible ARBD. We provide a safe and positive environment in which people can develop the life skills and confidence to actively move towards and define their recovery.
The service provides bespoke and proactive support to identify and address the individuals needs, placing them at the heart of their support. With an emphasis on independence and empowerment, people are helped to move toward self-identified goals. While there is an element of collaborative group work, this is at all times focussed on improving self-esteem and addressing issues such loneliness, social exclusion and addiction in a supportive peer environment.
You will be passionate about working in a person-centred way with adults from a variety of backgrounds, and with a range of challenges. With a strong interest in people and a commitment to helping others, you will strive to make a positive impact on peoples lives and tailor support to enable people to fulfil their best potential.
A day in the life of a Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioner
A practitioners job is challenging but very rewarding, as you dont only have the privilege to be part of and witness the development and recovery of the residents in your care but also the development of the team and individual workers you supervise.
Practitioners job is to ensure that the team are supporting the residents following the values and ethos of the organisation. As well as ensure that robust care plans are implemented and followed.
Practitioners train new workers re medication support according to the individual plan while following policy guidelines
Practitioners also provide support and supervision in line with organisational policy to several of the workers and will receive the relevant training and qualification required by the SSSC and Care Inspectorate.
Practitioners complete audits of the residents support plans to ensure that the quality of the support plans meet the standards required by the organisation.
As a practitioner in a service where no day is the same, it is important to be able to prioritise and delegate tasks, but it is also equally as important to make the environment both positive and welcoming for residents and the team.
