North Staffs Mind has offered mental health support services for nearly 50 years. Over the years we have continued to be innovative and responsive and have developed our services to meet the demands of the local mental health landscape. As a result, we have now merged with Cheshire Mind and are excited to be able to build on our coaching service in Cheshire West and develop a new care navigation service in Cheshire East, as we look to widen our geographical reach in order to support even more local people. This new role is a senior position within our growing Cheshire Mind team.
We will be working on the Cheshire East Care Navigation Service which aims to make it easier for people with severe mental illness (SMI) to access nonclinical support to foster recovery in local communities. We want to ensure that everyone can access the right support, at the right time, from the right person.
The post holder will work with clients presenting with moderate to severe mental illness as they navigate community support to aid their recovery. Clients will often be referred to the service following a hospital discharge.
The post holder will lead a team of seven Mental Health Support Workers at Cheshire Mind as well as holding their own small caseload of clients. You will be high profile throughout Cheshire – forging new community contacts and helping us to build our reputation as a high-quality service provider and partner of choice.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced mental health support worker with leadership skills to continue to learn and develop, with the support of the Head of Services. You can be sure that you will receive the very best support from us to help you thrive in this role as you help us to build a new service from scratch.
We offer a relaxed and friendly working environment and continually expand the CPD offer for our team.
