About the Role
If you have an interest in working in the mental health sector and making a positive difference, we have a fantastic opportunity to join a new accommodation service in the Seaford area. We are seeking a small dedicated team to continue our expansion of bespoke, optimistic mental health support. Would you like to join our team?
We focus on recovery and support our clients in regaining independence and control over their own lives and making their own decisions. Some of our clients have experienced hospitalization due to their mental health and this project offers a pathway to support better integration and prevent re-admission. The accommodation service is not intended as a long-term solution, more as a step forward to greater independence.
