6 x Vacancies Available

We are looking for six client-focused Support Time Recovery Workers to join our new Wigan Crisis Space service, supporting local residents experiencing emotional distress and mental health challenges.

Wigan Crisis Space is a new service providing a safe space for those in distress and struggling with unwanted thoughts and feelings. Looking to improve mental health and wellbeing, we connect individuals to a range of services to reduce low mood, anxiety and loneliness, develop new skills and ensure their voice is heard.

Our STR Workers provide low-level calming interventions and one-to-one support to help people identify the causes of their emotional distress and put in place a support plan that includes signposting and referrals to other appropriate organisations and services.

The ideal candidates will have an awareness of mental health conditions, experience of building strong relationships with people and excellent listening skills. The ability to develop trust with those accessing the service is key to supporting them to achieve their recovery goals and desired outcomes.

Main Responsibilities

• Develop trusting relationships and provide short-term one-to-one appointments that offer practical and emotional support.
• Carry out initial ‘getting to know you’ conversations, working with individuals to plan their support and achieve the goals and outcomes that are important to them.
• Develop and maintain knowledge of local services and organisations that can provide support to improve wellbeing.
• Ensure regular and robust case recording and risk management in line with quality standards.
• Complete referrals to ensure people accessing Wigan Crisis Space have the appropriate support networks around them.
• Support and facilitate group activities that promote wellbeing and recovery as part of our prevention agenda.

Benefits

• 25 days annual leave (pro rata for part-time employees), increasing by one day each April up to a maximum of 30 days, plus bank holidays.
• Up to 6% matched pension contributions.
• Flexible working arrangements, with the right to request flexible working from day one.
• Enhanced paid sick leave and family leave provisions.
• Eye care vouchers and winter flu jab vouchers.
• Cycle to Work scheme.
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.

Role Details

• Salary: Starting at £25,221 FTE per annum, rising to £27,780 FTE per annum (£14,314.62 to £15,766.02 per annum for 21 hours per week). 
• Location: Wigan Crisis Space, Crompton Street, Wigan, WN1 1YP. Office-based and wheelchair accessible.
• Hours: Part-time, 21 hours per week. The role includes evening and weekend working on a rota basis.
