What you’ll be doing:


Southdown is one of the leading providers of mental health services in Sussex. We work in partnership with Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and GPs, providing integrated support pathways for clients, in particular clients who face more complex mental health situations. As a Mental Health Support Coordinator you’ll be co-located and work in partnership with a multidisciplinary team to identify and provide targeted mental health and holistic support.

You’ll support clients, from completing initial assessment through to facilitating access to other mental health services. A key part of the role will be to deliver short term recovery-focused sessions with clients, co-creating support plans and goals, and using coaching and motivational interviewing to explore barriers.

If you are passionate about providing recovery focused support to enable clients to reach their goals, we’d love to hear from you. We welcome applications from candidates with previous experience such as Support Worker, Social Prescriber, Case Manager, Social Worker, Care Coordinator, Mental Health Specialist or Service Coordinator. However, this is not essential and full training will be provided.


Perks and benefits:
  • Health cost cash-back scheme: access to our health insurance scheme which covers dental, optical, physical therapies and other medical treatments with the option to add greater levels of cover.
  • Interest-free loans: assistance with larger costs that arise such as tenancy deposits, season travel tickets or buying a car.
  • Access to the Easit Network: discounts and incentives on train, bus and car journeys such as 15% off eligible daily and season rail tickets.
  • Blue Light card: access to discount services for the social care sector with savings across thousands of online shops, restaurants, and high-street vendors.
  • Free advice and counselling service: confidential emotional support and practical guidance from our independent telephone service.
  • 25 days paid holiday plus bank holidays.

Knowledge, skills & experience

What you’ll need for the role:
  • You’ll need a good understanding of working in mental health or equivalent transferable skills
  • You have a genuine passion for supporting people to explore their needs
  • An Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which will be paid for by Southdown
  • A full driving licence is essential along with access to your own car or a car insured for you
What would be nice:
  • Experience supporting clients experiencing mental health challenges, including those in crisis and/or facing complex challenges

Training:
You’ll receive a comprehensive induction followed up with regular training from our award winning in house team. We’ll help you to gain valuable experience, continually develop your skills and build a great career with the largest provider of housing, care and support in Sussex.
