We’re looking for a capable and caring person to join Lancashire Mind’s existing Housing Team. Under the direction of the Housing Operations Lead, you will manage a caseload of tenants with enduring mental health conditions living in properties that are managed by Lancashire Mind.

Via home visits, you will work with each tenant to agree a support plan to enable them to maintain their tenancy and move towards independent living.

You will complete and update records of interactions with tenants on the internal database and input data accurately onto monitoring spreadsheets.

To succeed in the role, you will need excellent communication skills, be IT literate, and able to establish relationships based on trust with different people.

You will be flexible and adaptable with excellent time management and organisational skills. This is an exciting time as Lancashire Mind is growing and we want someone who believes in our vision of a Lancashire where everyone can have the best mental health and wellbeing possible.

Lancashire Mind has a dedicated workplace wellbeing programme to ensure staff are supported with their own wellbeing which includes an Employee Assistance Programme, a half-day wellbeing day and wellbeing activities throughout the year.

We offer a workplace pension scheme, paid emergency time off to care for dependents, regular supervision, and a commitment to supporting learning and development opportunities. We have also recently enhanced our annual leave offer with basic annual leave of 25 days, plus 3 days closure between Christmas and New Year, long service leave, the option to buy or sell annual leave and a half-day wellbeing day for all staff.

Above all, we are a friendly and supportive place to work; ‘Great staff team, positive and supportive culture’ - Lancashire Mind wellbeing survey, March 2024.

Please note: This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

This role is key to the successful management of the charity.  You will provide the financial data required by the team to meet the needs of our funders reporting requests as well as maintain accurate records of the charities finances.  You will work with our small friendly staff team to ensure we have the most up to date figures to hand.  A great charity to work for, you will find us a friendly group who support each other.
