LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE AT ONE OF LONDON’S LEADING MENTAL HEALTH CHARITIES?

We know that housing and mental health are often linked. Poor mental health makes it hard to cope with housing problems, and housing problems can make mental health worse. With this in mind, we are proud to present this exciting role in our Floating Support Service. This service support people to live independently, and continues to be the only floating support service in the London Borough of Wandsworth. We’re looking for a mental health professional to join our passionate and dynamic team. You will support the Service Manager to manage the team while delivering high quality effective services. We’re a motivated, engaged, and efficient team, all working towards the same ambition. We’re committed to hiring diversely and inclusively, and to supporting those that join us to develop skills and reach their potential. We’re especially keen to hear from those who are innovative, adaptable, and highly creative. If you think you embody our vision, culture, and principles, please get in touch!

You will:

• Provide support for the Service Manager in the Wandsworth Floating Support Team.
• Work directly with a small caseload of service users, delivering support to enable independence and mental health recovery.
• Carry out and evidence regular assessments of support needs; drawing up, implementing, monitoring and reviewing support plans, risk assessment and outcomes monitoring.
• Promote independence, wellbeing, inclusion, and resilience.
• Provide line management and ‘hands-on’ support to the staff team when complex support issues arise, or breaches of tenancy occur and take charge when there is a major incident.
