Learning disability jobs

South East London Mind is working with Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and Bridge Support to deliver the Greenwich Mental Health Hub. This will form part of the new transformation of mental health services in the Royal Borough of Greenwich under the NHS Long Term Plan. The service will bring together the expertise of local primary, secondary and voluntary sector mental health care providers with the aim of providing flexible, holistic, and integrated services for adults with mental health problems.

Unpaid carers in our communities are supporting relatives, friends and neighbours, often with limited or no support, to live the best lives they can. The support of people with dementia, learning or physical disabilities, mental health difficulties or substance misuse problems by unpaid carers has been estimated to save the government close to the equivalent expenditure for the whole NHS.

We are looking for a Mental Health Carers Advisor who possesses an understanding of the challenges of unpaid caring and whose experience of working within mental health services includes support, prevention, recovery, and self-management. Applicants should possess effective skills in communication and have experience of completing assessments, managing a diverse caseload and working in a busy work environment. An ability to work independently but collaboratively, to be proactive and to show initiative is essential for this role.

Successful applicants will be expected to undergo an Enhanced Level Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Closing date: Sunday 29th June

Likely interview date: Tuesday 8th July

We encourage early applications as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if we receive a high number of applications.

Specialist Support Workers provide information, social inclusion and vocational opportunities to support people to recover and stay well; exercise choice and control in their care and lives; and participate on an equal footing in the community. Support is also provided to develop a model of re-enablement towards self-advocacy, self-management and empowerment, incorporating the principles and practice of recovery, co-production and peer support.

This role is a male only role due to the customer's support needs.

For a full job description, please visit our website.

As co-production is at the heart of our work, we believe it is important to involve our customers when recruiting for their support staff. Our customer says:

"Hi, I'm A. and I am a 30-year-old man who lives in a supported living accommodation in Newham since 2018.

I am a happy young man who enjoys socialising with those around me. I mostly communicate through non-verbal language, touch, and vocalisations. I have a good relationship with my family and get excited when they visit me.

I enjoy spending time in nature and like going for walks in the local parks. I also enjoy car rides and would prefer that people who support me have a current UK driving licence (I have my own Motability car).

I have specific sensory needs, those around me must be mindful of those.

I like to be surrounded by people who can creatively engage me in tasks and activities and offer me choices and opportunities to develop my daily living skills.

I might experience difficulties understanding and managing my emotions and behaviours at times. People working with me must be able to support me in such challenging situations through Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies as detailed in my support plan.

I am looking for a caring and passionate individual to support me with my daily living skills, building and maintaining relationships, keeping myself and my home safe but also to help me develop my skills to live more independently, to share my hobbies and interests and to explore new activities.

I am looking for someone who is a good and clear communicator, is assertive, has good IT skills and shares my enthusiasm for what interests me, like music, food and meaningful activities.

Look Ahead ensures I am treated with dignity and respect and only staff who can live up to the organisational values become part of my support team."
