Sounds great, what will I be doing?

The role focuses on providing high-quality support to individuals in mental health crisis.

The role requires someone who can work independently and as part of a team, support new staff and volunteers, and collaborate effectively with frontline statutory services like the NHS. Strong IT, literacy, and numeracy skills are important, along with flexibility to work 9.00am–5.00pm, Monday to Sunday, including bank holidays. Awareness of health and safety is also key.
