Job description

Our peer led crisis service in Bury provides peer support and practical support, face to face or via telephone on a one-to-one or group basis for adults experiencing a mental health crisis in our community. The service started in 2021 and has received year on year funding increases due to the success we have had. We are expanding our service so we now have a vacancy for a new Service Lead position within our team.

The Service Lead position is an exciting opportunity to join our well respected metal health charity and help shape this growing service. This is very much a lead from the front role, our service leads hold frontline responsibilities as well as their management responsibilities. You would be the 'go to' person on a day to day basis when on shift in the crisis service. You would be responsible for:

  • Overseeing the day to day functioning of the service
  • Line-managing, nurturing and developing your team
  • Working with your fellow Crisis Service Leads, and the senior leadership team of the charity, to develop and evaluate the service
  • Provide therapeutic face to face, and occasional telephone crisis support, through a mutual negotiation of the visitor’s needs, within the service.

We are looking to recruit someone with personal experience of mental distress as this is a peer role. The successful candidate will also have experience of working with people with mental health problems, which should include experience of working with people at risk of suicide and self-injury.

We are looking for someone with a great combination of skills. You will need to have proven experience of managing and leading a team or service, and great therapeutic skills, with the ability to support and develop a team. You'll be joining a friendly and supportive team which is committed to providing the best support possible.

If you are interested in applying or for more information please read the attached application pack.

  • 34 hours a week
  • £30,056 actual
  • 24 month fixed term contract, subject to extension dependant on future commissioning
