No two days are the same. One day you could be supporting someone to attend an appointment, learn budgeting skills, or take part in activities they enjoy. Another day you could be helping someone achieve an important personal goal they've been working towards.

The relationships you build and the support you provide can have a lasting impact on someone's recovery journey.

• Support residents with daily living skills, wellbeing and independence
• Build positive, trusting relationships
• Encourage people to achieve personal goals, access education, employment and community opportunities
• Work alongside healthcare professionals, families and support networks
• Promote mental and physical wellbeing
• Help create a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment
• Learn and apply therapeutic approaches including Talk Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Informed Care

What's In It For You?

We're invested in your career and wellbeing.

• 37 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
• Fully funded training and professional development
• Professional qualification sponsorship
• Blue Light Card discounts
• Free counselling and wellbeing support
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Enhanced family-friendly leave
• £500 Refer-a-Friend bonus
• NHS-approved wellbeing app
• Free DBS and flu jab

We'd Love to Hear From You If You Are...

You don't need to have worked in mental health before. If you share our values of Caring, Safe, Creative and Aspirational, we'll provide the training and support to help you succeed.

• Passionate about supporting people
• Interested in mental health and wellbeing
• Empathetic, positive and non-judgemental
• A strong communicator and team player
• Committed to making a difference in your community

Join a Team That Changes Lives

Every day, you'll have the opportunity to help someone take another step towards independence, confidence and recovery.

If you're looking for a role with purpose, growth opportunities and real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
