Role Responsibility

The main purpose of the role is to assist individuals to address and de-escalate their mental health crisis in a safe, friendly, non-clinical setting. You will deliver a high quality person centred service in line with the service specification and will work as part of a team.

In a role where no two shifts are the same, you will take referrals and assess new service users presenting with a mental health crisis, deliver support sessions, and facilitate informal group work and other therapeutic activities. You will also support and enable our service users to make informed choices about their future. Further duties include recording of service user information for reporting purposes and in line with GDPR, liaising with other health professionals, contributing to the safeguarding of vulnerable people, and ensuring that the premises are maintained in line with essential health and safety standards.

The successful applicant will be working at both Crisis Point and the Recovery Lounge and will be required to work a varied rota that will include evenings, sleeps, and occasional waking nights. Travel to and from shifts during unsocial hours is acknowledged as a potential difficulty, and so taxi fares are covered when reasonable and justifiable.

You will be confident in working with information technology on a range of software applications.

You will be able to deliver interventions in a person centred, non-judgemental manner. You will have the ability to deal effectively and calmly with challenging situations.

Driven and passionate, you won't have a problem with multitasking and dealing with conflicting deadlines and crisis situations.
