Job description

Overview

Salary: £24,618 - £25,944 per annum (£12.62 - £13.30 p/h equivalent)

Full time and part time available – Permanent

At Penumbra, we strive to create a culture and environment where people feel valued and inspired to reach their own personal goals. Our fundamental priority is to provide support which is safe and promotes recovery, social inclusion and citizenship for people with mental health challenges.

Through an ethos of inclusion, equality and fairness, our staff are committed to promoting good mental health and wellbeing for people using our services.

Our ARBD supported accommodation is based in Bardowie Street in Glasgow’s Possilpark, and is an assessment centre for people who have been diagnosed with ARBD or possible ARBD. We provide a safe and positive environment in which people can develop the life skills and confidence to actively move towards and define their recovery. The service provides bespoke and proactive support to identify and address the individual’s needs, placing them at the heart of their support. With an emphasis on independence and empowerment, people are helped to move toward self-identified goals.

You will be passionate about working in a person-centred way with adults from a variety of backgrounds, and with a range of challenges. With a strong interest in people and a commitment to helping others, you will strive to make a positive impact on people’s lives and tailor support to enable people to fulfil their best potential.
