The Role

Together is an amazing place to work. And it’s not just because we’re one of the UK’s oldest and most respected mental health charities. It’s because we put the people who use our services at the heart of everything we do – supporting and enabling them to take control of their lives and make a positive contribution to the community.

The Southwark Wellbeing Hub, run by the national mental health charity Together for Mental Wellbeing, is the leading advice and information service for people in Southwark, concerned about their own mental health or about the mental wellbeing of someone close to them.

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, person-centred and thoughtful individual to be the Deputy Project Manager of the Southwark Wellbeing Hub. The Deputy Project Manager will lead our dynamic group of Support Workers working with individuals who have concerns around their wellbeing and mental health. The service is delivered through a variety of ways: drop-in service, pop-ups and over the phone.

The Deputy Project Manager will have an oversight of client allocation within the service including management of the statutory referral pathway as well as managing and reviewing the service’s rota to ensure that is covered effectively at all times. In addition, the Deputy Project Manager will take a lead role and provide support and advice to staff with the aim of creating and reviewing robust risk assessments, produce and agree goal focussed plans. The individual will have to be committed to safe working processes. The Deputy Project Manager will contribute to the provision of outcome defined evidence to commissioners and other stakeholders, by fully involving service users and team members.

The role will build on new and maintain existing relationships with key partners and services across Southwark and help us develop the service through satellite locations across the local area, ensuring the service is connected to organisations and agencies providing support in the borough.
