Who we are, and what we do
We’re Oxfordshire Mind, the mental health charity, operating across Oxfordshire and Berkshire West.
Our passionate employees and dedicated volunteers are helping people with mental health issues find somewhere to turn for advice, information, and support.
We won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health issue gets both support and respect.

About the Role
We are looking for an exceptional Head of Housing & Safe Haven to lead our supported housing and crisis alternative services, ensuring people receive high-quality, person-centred and recovery-focused support when they need it most.

Creating Hope Together
Creating Hope Together is Scotland's suicide prevention strategy and action plan (2022–2032), published by the Scottish Government and COSLA.
