At Northern Healthcare, we believe work should fit around your lifestyle wherever possible. Our bank opportunities give you the flexibility to pick up shifts that work for you, helping you balance earning money with the things that matter most.

Make every shift count

At Mary Seacole House, you'll support people living with mental health needs to build confidence, develop independence and work towards their personal recovery goals.

No two days are the same. One shift might involve helping someone prepare a meal or manage their daily routine, while another could mean supporting them to attend an appointment, get involved in the community or simply having a conversation that brightens their day.

It's about seeing the person, not just their needs, and helping them take positive steps towards a more independent and fulfilling life.

What will you be doing?

• Supporting independence: Help people develop everyday living skills, from cooking and personal care to budgeting and managing appointments.
• Promoting recovery: Encourage confidence, resilience and progress towards individual goals.
• Making connections: Support people to access the community, enjoy activities and build meaningful relationships.
• Providing reassurance: Offer compassionate, person-centred support during both good days and more challenging moments.
• Working as a team: Collaborate with colleagues to provide consistent, high-quality support.
• Making a difference: Maintain accurate records and contribute to support plans that reflect each person's needs and aspirations.

Flexibility that works around you!

We know life doesn't always fit into a traditional working pattern. That's why bank work can be a great option if you're looking for greater flexibility.

Whether you want to work around university lectures, school runs, family commitments, another job or other priorities, bank shifts can give you the opportunity to balance work with life outside it.

Why consider bank work with Northern Healthcare?

• Earn £12.91 per hour while doing rewarding work.
• Flexible working opportunities to help you fit shifts around your availability.
• Be part of a supportive team that values compassion, respect and teamwork.
• Learn new skills and gain valuable experience in mental health support.
• Explore a career in healthcare and discover opportunities to develop your experience.

Please note: Bank work is offered according to service requirements, so shifts are not guaranteed and flexibility will depend on available shifts and service needs.

Could you be the person we're looking for?

You don't necessarily need previous experience in mental health care. What matters most is your attitude, compassion and willingness to learn.

We're looking for people who are:

• Caring, patient and genuinely passionate about helping others.
• Good communicators who listen without judgement.
• Calm, resilient and able to respond positively to challenging situations.
• Reliable, flexible and happy to work as part of a team.
• Respectful of individual choices, dignity and independence.

If you've worked in care, hospitality, retail, education or another people-focused role, you may already have valuable transferable skills. If you're new to care, we're interested in people who have the right values and a genuine desire to make a difference.

Why Northern Healthcare?

Our mission is simple: putting people first, changing lives.

We provide mental health recovery services that help people build fulfilling lives, develop independence and achieve their goals.

Our PROUD values guide everything we do:

• P – Positive
• R – Respectful
• O – Open and Honest
• U – Understanding
• D – Dedicated

When you join us, you're not just picking up a shift. You're becoming part of a team that believes in people's potential and works together to help them thrive.
