This role is rooted in person centred place-based working, early intervention, and prevention, supporting neighbourhoods where traditional services don't always reach. Lived experience and strong community insight are central to the role and are recognised as powerful assets in creating inclusive, effective support.

We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience of mental health challenges, inequality, or marginalisation, or those with deep understanding of the barriers faced by underrepresented communities.

• Work in local neighbourhoods, offering wellbeing support from familiar community places such as food banks, libraries, community centres, faith venues, and voluntary organisations
• Build trusted relationships with residents, especially in areas facing higher levels of deprivation, to help spot physical and mental health and wellbeing needs early
• Support people in both planned and responsive ways, following up referrals and reaching out to residents who may benefit from early or preventative support
• Manage a caseload of people each week, supporting individuals with a wide range of mental health, wellbeing, and everyday life challenges
• Help people access the right support by signposting them to NHS, council, voluntary, and community services for housing, employment, money worries, and social isolation
• Use simple, strengths-based coaching approaches, informed by lived experience and understanding of the local area, to help people make positive and lasting changes
• Plan and deliver welcoming one-to-one and group activities within neighbourhood settings
• Work independently across neighbourhood locations while working closely with GP practices, multidisciplinary teams, and community partners
• Build strong working relationships with local voluntary, community and faith organisations, schools, police, public health, and social services
• Support a neighbourhood-based approach to lowering demand for GP and primary care appointments, particularly frequent attenders.
