Do you want to make mental health support more accessible to children and young people? Are you passionate about early help and community-based care? If so, #Thrive could be the place for you.
#Thrive is a dynamic, front-door service providing early emotional wellbeing support to children, young people and families across Heywood, Middleton & Rochdale (HMR). We’re part of a whole-system approach that puts access, prevention, and community connection at the heart of what we do.

* Support young people and families through 1:1 sessions, group work, and drop-in conversations
* Co-deliver workshops and psychoeducation in various settings including #Thrive and community settings
* Work collaboratively with professionals across education, health, social care, and voluntary services.
* Promote mental health literacy and empower young people to build resilience and self-management skills
* Be part of a compassionate, skilled multi-disciplinary team focused on accessible, trauma-informed care.
* A supportive and values-driven team
* Access to supervision, CPD and ongoing training
* Flexible working and community-based delivery
* Opportunities to develop innovative approaches to young people’s mental health
Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We’re really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we’re a great place to work.
