Manchester Mind and Gaddum, two leading mental health charities, have come together to provide an innovative service which is supporting people from hospital back to their home and now expanding to support people who are seeking help from secondary mental health services.

We believe in the power of advice and the fact that support with benefits, debts and housing can make such a huge difference to a person’s mental health. This is why advice is part of our person-centred holistic service offer. All our support including advice is underpinned by listening and ensuring people feel heard. The team will be working with colleagues within the mental health, primary care and community sectors.

Staff within the Recovery In Community Team are employed by both organisations, but in this case, the advice workers will be employed by Manchester Mind and the three roles are:

Position:  Lead Housing and Welfare Rights Advisor

Salary: £33,289 - £34,273

Hours: 35 hours per week

Positions:  2 x Housing and Welfare Rights Advisors

Salary: £27,565 - £28,441 (dependant on experience)

Hours: 35 hours per week

The skills and knowledge that are important to us are:

· Ability to create a sense of belonging through the development of kind relationships that lead to people feeling accepted and heard.

· Experience of working in a psycho-social way with people experiencing mental health problems.

· Commitment to working in a collaborative way – sharing skills and talents in order to bring about better outcomes for the team.

· For the lead, we will be looking for experience of supervising others and delivering casefile reviews.

We know some people use AI and, whilst we would never say don’t use it, we just want to let you know that when people have used AI to help with their application, it can make applications very similar to each other. This makes it difficult when we are looking for a sense of who you are.

Manchester Mind is striving to be an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. Manchester Mind sees it as a positive advantage if you have experience of mental health issues and/or have used mental health services, or had experience of volunteering.
