We have an exciting opportunity for Support Workers for daytime, evening, and weekend shifts to join our Lions Campus team in Marylebone (W1U 5NQ).

About Lions Campus

Lions Campus offers a bridge between the primary phase of treatment and the real world, enabling young people to continue practising their coping strategies in a safe, substance-free environment, without further loss in academic attainment. We aim to improve young people’s long-term well-being and reduce their chances of relapse or further complications relating to mental health difficulties or disorders.

It is important to note that Lions Campus is not a primary care, nor is it a clinical facility. We are a recovery-focused residence that works to promote healthy living and sustainable recovery.
