Job Title: Crisis Support Worker – Young People’s Mental Health Location: Huntingdon / Cambridgeshire Pay: £17.50 – £28 per hour Contract: Flexible / Agency Contract Shifts: 12-hour Days or Nights (your choice – coffee or moonlight?) About Us We’re not your average support service. We’re a team on a mission: to make sure no young person faces a mental health crisis alone. We're all about compassion, creativity, and care – supporting 11–17-year-olds during their most vulnerable moments. If you believe in the power of presence, empathy, and making actual change, keep reading. The Role We’re looking for someone extraordinary – someone who’s got grit, heart, and a strong coffee habit (just kidding… sort of). As a Crisis Support Worker, you’ll be a lifeline to a young person in a 24/7 solo provision – providing one-on-one, person-centered support that’s as real as it gets. You’ll help them feel safe, seen, and heard – whether it's 10am on a sunny Tuesday or 2am on a stormy Saturday. Your Superpowers Will Include: Daily Life Ninja: Help bring routine, rhythm, and a bit of fun to each day. Plan adventures, chill hangouts, and activities that feel more "weekend vibes" than "clinical checklist". Emotional Support Extraordinaire: Use trauma-informed tools (grounding, emotional regulation, etc.) to guide the young person through tough moments and build emotional resilience. The Paperwork Whisperer: Keep detailed, accurate records of support, safeguarding, and your top-tier interventions (because compliance is still cool). Lifelong Learner: Regular supervision, training, and reflective practice will keep you growing professionally and emotionally. Chauffeur of Care: Drive the young person to appointments, education, or the occasional ice cream outing (because balance matters). Team Player With the Pros: Work hand-in-hand with CAMHS, social workers, and other key services to deliver wraparound support. Requirements Are You the One? Ask yourself: Have you worked with young people in crisis or with complex mental health needs? Can you stay calm under pressure, even when things get a little intense? Do you believe every young person deserves to feel safe, supported, and have a true sense of belonging? Do you understand trauma-informed and person-centered care? Are you flexible with shifts – including evenings, weekends, and the occasional short-notice cover? Do you hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own vehicle? Bonus points if you've worked in secure settings, prison services, hospitals, or have a background in youth work, mental health, psychology, or social care. If you're nodding along — we'd love to hear from you. Benefits What’s In It For You? Competitive hourly pay (yes, your skills are worth it) Career development and CPD opportunities Regular supervision and reflective practice Casual dress – we care more about your compassion than your collar Referral bonuses – invite your talented friends and earn a reward A workplace that actually cares – trauma-informed, inclusive, and genuinely supportive Ready to Apply? Join a team that leads with hope, heart, and humour. Make an impact, one young person at a time. Apply now and be the calm in someone else’s storm. This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check – because safeguarding young people is non-negotiable. We’re committed to promoting welfare and safety in everything we do.
