We’re all acutely aware of the impact Covid-19 is having on society but also us as individuals. Many people are experiencing mental health issues for the first time in their lives and urgently need support. That’s where our new service and you come in. Join Richmond Fellowship as a Mental Health Support Worker and you will be the bridge between individuals and the support services and opportunities they need to get their lives back on track.
We’re part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence. We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone.
Led by Community Connections, in collaboration with Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation, this exciting new project aims to deliver vital community-level support and interventions. Your challenge will be to monitor, develop and share good practice to ensure the team’s better equipped to work with a greater range of challenging support needs. You’ll manage a caseload of individuals with mental health concerns that are either pre-existing or have been created or exacerbated by COVID-19, formulating support plans and establishing positive relationships with a range of multidisciplinary organisations.
You’ll need a significant understanding of mental health issues and substantial experience of working within a mental health setting where you dealt with ‘high risk’ clients and managing resources effectively. A good understanding of recovery and coproduction is important too, as is a proven ability to lead, supervise and motivate staff and delegate work appropriately. Adept at managing conflicting demands and priorities on time, you have a flexible attitude to working hours and, above all, keen to be part of something new and worthwhile that will change lives.
