Mental Health Support Worker (Full Time)
We are looking for a full‑time Mental Health Support Worker to work in partnership with people who use mental health services. You will work alongside the Mental Health Support Worker and the wider Adult Mental Health Team to provide targeted support to people who live with severe mental health conditions. Whether it is supporting someone to regain their skills after a hospital admission or developing a social support group, you will use your empathy, interpersonal and relationship building skills to help people with mental health conditions live successful lives in the community. You will be non‑judgemental and have a desire to promote independent living wherever possible. You may be called upon to help a person through a mental health crisis as part of a multi‑disciplinary team. The role can be stressful and involve situations with high levels of complexity, risk or vulnerability, but you will be well supported by colleagues and receive monthly supervision.
Responsibilities
* Provide support and allocate time to a group of service users to promote their recovery and maintain them in a community environment, helping them to build their own support network.
* Provide regular and practical support to service users in developing and managing independence and maintaining dignity and self‑respect.
* Support people to identify their needs and assist the mental health social worker to assess, plan, implement and evaluate individual care and support plans.
* Ensure that the individual service user's needs remain front and centre at all times, using agreed values and skills to underpin day‑to‑day work.
* Note that the responsibilities of the role may change as this role is subject to job evaluation.
