Birmingham Mind are a leading provider of mental health services in Birmingham and the West Midlands. We offer high quality services that support both recovery and wellbeing, and we actively work with people so that they can be in control of their lives.

We now have an opportunity for an Admissions Avoidance Coordinator to join us to work closely with people who have experienced mental health difficulties and are being supported through BSMHFT Children’s and Young People Community Hubs and Crisis services.

The main aim of the service is to offer an individualised service with a focus on the prevention of hospital admission and provide support for service users.

You will work closely with the other Discharge Coordinators providing support cover when required and you’ll work closely with BSMHFT CYP staff to identify individuals who are at risk of escalation because of hardships including social and environmental factors.

These individuals will be supported via the service through a person-centered approach that focuses on maintaining and strengthening the person’s wellbeing and enabling people to build their own resilience reducing crisis escalation.

We are looking for someone with experience of working in a paid role in the mental health field, with experience of supporting people age 18 – 25 to be in control of their lives.

You’ll have knowledge and experience of carrying out needs & risk assessments and you’ll have a good overall understanding of the social determinants of poor mental health and interventions to effect positive outcomes.

A full UK driving licence and use of a vehicle is also desirable but not essential.

Benefits include an attractive defined contribution pension scheme, PayCare which offers employees affordable cover for a range of healthcare treatments, an Employee Assistance Programme which includes free counselling and a comprehensive training programme.

Candidates must have the right to work in the UK for a minimum of 12 months. We are not a registered sponsor and therefore are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position.

The closing date for applications is Sunday 27th September 2026
