About the role

In this rewarding role, you’ll work one-to-one with people experiencing mild to moderate mental health challenges. Through face-to-face, phone, or online sessions, you’ll help patients explore their wellbeing needs, set meaningful goals, and develop practical emotional coping skills. Over the course of up to six sessions, you’ll empower individuals to build resilience and manage their own mental health and wellbeing more confidently.
