It’s time to make a difference.

Most people know someone who's had mental health problems. But not everyone knows someone who can make a difference.

The Think Ahead programme is a new route into social work, for graduates and career-changers remarkable enough to make a real difference to people with mental health problems.

At Think Ahead, we want to see a society where everyone with mental health problems can flourish. That won’t happen unless people can improve their social circumstances – because life issues like relationships, living arrangements, and employment have profound effects on mental wellbeing.

Our two-year graduate programme combines on-the-job learning, a master’s degree, and leadership training, all of which help our participants to become great social workers, strengthen mental health services, and spread social approaches to mental health across society.

On Think Ahead’s paid two-year programme, you will:

• Take on a challenging and varied role, with responsibility from day one.
• Be paid to spend two years training on-the-job and working in a community mental health team, alongside clinical professionals.
• Make a significant difference to the lives of people with mental illness.
• Gain two qualifications, qualifying as a social worker and gaining a master’s degree.
• Start a fast-track career with leadership training and transferable skills.

Think Ahead is a highly selective programme. While you need no prior experience of social work to apply, our criteria states that you must:

• Hold or achieve at least a 2:1 degree or equivalent in a subject other than social work
• Show a passion for improving the lives of people with mental illness.
• Demonstrate key attributes including resilience, empathy, and communication skills.

Help build a bridge!

When a child struggles with their mental health, their parents can seek help from their GP but there is often a wait for further specialist services. You can help bridge that gap.

As a Care Coordinator specialising in children’s mental health and based in GP practices in Sheerness, you will support children and families to access other community or social activities that offer opportunities for the child to develop confidence, self-esteem and resilience. Alternatively, those services may provide support to the parents or family as a whole.

Your time and expertise will support the child and family to understand conversations with primary health professionals, enabling them to make informed choices about their own health and wellbeing through the development of a personalised plan of care. You should be able to quickly connect and build trust with children, young people and families.

This Care Coordinator role is a great opening into Social Prescribing, a growing field in health and social care. We are looking for an organised, self-motivated and confident individual to join our established team. Applicants must have experience of working with children, a background in education, medical or social care, and of supporting individuals to access wider services. Car driver essential.

You will work alongside Social Prescribing colleagues and primary care professionals, and it is essential that you are able to communicate at all levels across both the health and social care sectors.

You will need to demonstrate a robust knowledge of confidentiality, data protection, safeguarding and boundaries in all aspects of your work.

We're looking for someone who will come and live as part of the Buncton Community. They will manage the day to day running and practicalities of the household, as well as some aspects of administration. They will also provide practical, emotional and spiritual support to the guests largely through their consistency, stability and ability to listen.

Who we are

The Buncton Community was started by One Church Brighton. OCB is a Brighton based church, a diverse and inclusive worshipping community, as well as a wider charitable organisation that runs a variety of different projects. We serve a large and brilliant group of people from all walks of life, working hard to try and alleviate poverty, tackle social isolation, provide routes into employment and anything else we can do to make the world a better place.

About the Buncton Community

Based in an old farmhouse in the Sussex countryside, the Buncton Community is a place of respite, restoration, safety and hospitality for people in need. We are a small, intentional community made up of five guests, two live-in hosts and a group of supportive volunteers. Guests are from a variety of backgrounds and may have experience of homelessness, bereavement, life crisis, divorce, recovering from addiction or mental health issues. They are welcomed into a calm, rural environment removed from chaotic situations and peers, and can live here for up to two years. Opening to guests in September 2020, we are still forming and tweaking exactly how the community works most effectively to support these vulnerable people best, but we have been inspired by projects like the Pilsdon Community in Dorset and believe that we can establish a similar one here in Sussex.

About the opportunity

This is not a normal job! It certainly won’t be for everyone, the demands are great, and the days will be long but for the right person, we believe that it can be a very rewarding vocation.

The purpose of the community is to live with others around an agreed and healthy, rhythm of life. The three pillars of this daily rhythm are Hospitality: preparing, cooking and sharing meals together, Work: finding meaningful and therapeutic work, maintaining the house and grounds of the house as well as getting involved with activities further afield, and Prayer: moments of quiet and reflection, being grateful for the day and asking for help where needed. As many of the guests will have addiction issues, Buncton is a dry house with no alcohol or non-prescription drugs allowed and hosts also must adhere to this policy.

This role of Host is fundamentally about living out this healthy rhythm of life, modelling it for others who might be struggling with multiple issues and then inviting those others into this rhythm. This is therefore not your usual workplace, the key ethos of ‘living with’ others rather than ‘doing for’ others can lead to boundaries between being ‘on-duty’ and being off become blurred and messy, this needs to be seriously reflected upon by anyone considering joining us. All that said, as well as two clear days off, there are the other hosts, an engaged and gifted Board, the wonderful, wider staff team of One Church, as well as a mentor who will all contribute to supporting and encouraging you in this role.

What we are looking for

As we are still in the early stages of establishing the community, we’re keen to find another host who can bring some ideas and drive to the how things are done, helping to shape all we do. The project is rooted in the Christian faith, though the guests may not be followers of any particular faith. Whilst the applicant need not be a christian, it is essential that the successful applicant is comfortable joining in and leading short times of prayer and are positive about the founding principles and values of OCB and the Buncton Community.

Benefits 

• Accommodation, food and living costs are covered as part of the role

• An opportunity to make life better for vulnerable people

• Work with a small team of enthusiastic volunteers

• 25 days holiday (pro rata)

• The chance to be part of a fun and energetic team.

• 5% employer pension contributions on total earnings 

Hours: Amended to part time (up to 22.2 hours per week) as part of a job share.

Location: Working from home (due to the pandemic)

Social Prescribing is a mechanism for linking primary care patients with non-medical sources of support within their community.

As a Community Navigator, you will be a vital and visible community resource, responsible for patient engagement and support and for developing effective working relationships with health care professionals and third sector providers.

We are looking to recruit a caring, dedicated, reliable and person-focused individual who enjoys working with a wide range of people and supporting a team of volunteers to deliver exceptional service.

You will need to have good written and verbal communication skills and strong organisational and time management skills. You will have a commitment to empowering patients using coaching techniques. You will also engage with volunteers to support your work.
