If you are looking for a rewarding career and to work within an epic team that will help you grow and thrive, then you have come to the right place. Working within our Papermill Gardens Service you can start your day knowing what you do really does make a difference!

You will become part of dynamic services and demonstrate professionalism, safeguarding, reflective practice, and continuous service improvement through working closely with the Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners, Assistant Manager and Service Manager.

By collaborating with individuals, their families, and multi-agency professionals, you will strive to promote positive mental and physical wellbeing through preventative and early intervention approaches. Recovery often involves supporting individuals during periods of distress, so it is important to do so sensitively with individuals when developing coping strategies and accessing the right services at the right time. You will support individuals to increase their life skills in line with their preferences and the Health and Social Care Standards.

This often involves a variety of housing support needs and care at home assistance too.

Promoting communication is essential, so individuals can meaningfully participate in decisions and choices that matter to them, whilst expressing their own personality and talents. As a key worker, you will assist individuals to progress and review their recovery via a range of coaching approaches and toolkits.

As a mental health charity, we really value the wellbeing of our staff. That’s why we want you to know that you’ll be joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.

We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.
