- Experience of supporting people with mental health needs, including Serious Mental Illness (SMI), health inequalities or social exclusion is required, with experience of psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or addiction being desirable.
- A sound understanding of trauma-informed and strengths-based practice, with the ability to apply these approaches in day-to-day work.
- Experience of working in connector, navigator, link worker, peer support or advocacy roles would be an advantage.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with experience of engaging individuals through a range of methods including telephone (primarily), digital and face-to-face contact.
- Ability to build trust with service users and develop effective professional relationships across health and community networks.
- Good organisational and data management skills, with experience of maintaining accurate records and working towards agreed targets and KPIs.
- Experience of using health or case management systems (such as Rio, SystmOne, EMIS or bespoke systems), alongside strong verbal, written and IT skills.
- Demonstrable experience of working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders, including primary care, mental health services and community partners.
- Resilient, flexible and able to remain calm in challenging situations, including when working with individuals affected by substance misuse, offending behaviour or homelessness.
- A proactive, adaptable approach to managing competing demands and complex needs.
