You will be part of a forward-thinking, collaborative team committed to innovation in mental health and housing support.

- Please note this role is open to females only due to the needs of service users
- Driving licence and access to a vehicle
- Experience providing community-based, recovery-focused or non-clinical mental health support
- Experience delivering structured 1:1 support and contributing to personal or outcome-focused plans

- Understanding of risk assessment and safe decision-making
- Commitment to person-centred, strengths-based and recovery-focused practice
- Educated to SVQ 3 level or have experience working in mental health
- SSSC registration, or willingness to register within six months
They are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and the charity and are a "Happy to Talk Flexible" employer: working days will be discussed and agreed with the Locality Manager and can be adjusted for the suitable candidate.
If you are passionate about enabling Change Mental Health to deliver a valuable service to the Scottish community and feel your profile matches this role's criteria, then they want to hear from you!
