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.

Do you have an understanding of drugs and alcohol and health related issues, the Recovery Agenda and experience of working with adults or young people in an addictions or social care setting? Would you like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with? Then join us as a Practitioner.

Right now, one of our partners, Aquarius Action Projects, is looking for a Practitioner to join their Derby Family Safeguarding Service. Based in the East Midlands, Aquarius helps people overcome the harm caused by alcohol, drugs and gambling working closely with individuals, family and friends. But it’s only possible with the help of people like you.

Your challenge? – To provide advice, assessments, structured interventions and groups programmes to support clients through treatment who have both drug and alcohol problems.  You will hold a case load of clients where there are child safeguarding concerns which are linked with parental substance misuse.

You will be conducting assessments, risk assessments and working directly with other services such as primary care, social care and others. The main aim is to work closely with treatment keyworkers and deliver interventions targeted at reducing the risk of parental substance misuse on children. A lot of the work is delivered within the home environment so there will be an element of travelling round the city centre and lone working.  The successful candidate must have exceptional organisational skills and the ability to work with other agencies both face to face, email and via telephone.  There is also a requirement to write comprehensive reports for child protection conferences and attendance of numerous safeguarding meetings.  Ideally the successful candidate needs to have an understanding of safeguarding processes and safeguarding thresholds.

An energetic and confident self-starter, you will be required to hold a qualification in health/social care, youth and community work (e.g. NVQ Level 3 or above, DipSW, Mental Health Nursing, Counselling, Addiction Studies). Alternatively, we’ll consider candidates with experience of working in the substance misuse field with a commitment to complete NVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care. As well as good knowledge of alcohol/drug and health related issues, you will be used to liaising with voluntary and statutory agencies and health professionals and comfortable engaging with clients in a variety of service delivery settings. You will have a flexible approach, a commitment to the principles of confidentiality, excellent record keeping and a working knowledge of Microsoft Office.

Interviews will be held on: 7th November 2019

To apply please submit a CV and supporting statement which should clearly outline your skills and experience.

In return, you can expect some great benefits, including 32 days' holiday, contributory pension scheme, employee assistance programme and childcare vouchers, plus exceptional professional development and training opportunities. So, get inspired and take the first steps towards a more fulfilling career.

With your background in housing, social care and ‘high risk’ clients, you really understand the difference it can make when frontline staff are supported to improve practice. Well, we can put you in a position to do just that. Welcome to Richmond Fellowship as a Senior Practitioner.

Right now, we’re looking for someone like you to join our 24 hour supported housing service in North Shields. Our aim is to help individuals on their recovery journey so they’re able to move on to more independent living within the community.

 With a wide range of skills and backgrounds, our teams take a creative approach to their work and are an integral part to the recovery journey of those who use our services. That’s where you come in. As a Senior Practitioner you’ll be focused on practice, but of course your overriding objective will be to provide high quality support to service users, in line with service models and policy. Carrying a caseload of complex cases, you’ll provide strong and effective clinical leadership in formulating support plans and manage the work of Support Workers, Peer Support and other Volunteers, as well taking responsibility for their training and development. You’ll also support the management of the risk load within your service, to ensure safe working practices are in place and appropriate support available.

We expect you to have your QCF in Health and Social Care – ideally level 3 or equivalent – or to be happy to train towards it. Certainly, your substantial experience within the housing and social care sector will have given you a significant understanding of mental health issues, recovery and coproduction, and the intricacies of managing resources effectively. You should also be experienced in carrying out investigations and writing reports and recommendations. On a personal level, you’re solution focused and outcome driven, able both to lead from the front and to delegate when appropriate, and flexible enough to participate in on-call arrangements.
