If you are looking for a rewarding career and to work within an epic team that will help you grow and thrive, then you have come to the right place. Working within our Edinburgh THRIVE service you can start your day knowing what you do really does make a difference!
Here is an exciting opportunity to come and work in Edinburghs THRIVE Locality Team – Penumbra’s Self Harm Support Service. We provide support to people who self-harm and experience suicide ideation aged 16+ within the City of Edinburgh as part of Thrive Edinburgh Collective.
We ensure people have a safe, non-judgemental space where they can explore their feelings and concerns in confidence using a persona centre approach with each individual. The service offers both one to one and group support, support to family, friends and carers.
We provide awareness raising and training in a variety of settings including schools, to third sector organisations and to our community mental health teams in the NHS.
The service is generally open 9-5pm Monday to Friday, however to meet the needs of the service, there can be the odd evening or weekend work when we run groups or attend events.
As a mental health charity, we really value the wellbeing of our staff. That’s why we want you to know that you’ll be joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.
We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.
