Senior HUB Assessor

The Big Life Group’s mission is to fight for equity in health, in wealth and in life. We are a social business delivering a range of services across the North of England, covering everything from mental and physical health, addiction and criminal justice, to housing, education, family support and much more. What links them is how we work – The Big Life Way.

We always stand shoulder-to-shoulder with people, working with them on the things that matter most to them. Everything we do is designed and informed by the needs, priorities and strengths of people and communities.

If you’re looking for more than a job – if you want to be part of a team that’s bold, creative and relentlessly committed to equity – then Big Life could be the place for you.

Closing date for applications

Monday, 26 October. Interviews will take place during the week starting 2 November.

We recognise that AI tools can be useful in supporting job applications, for example by helping with spelling, grammar, structure, or clarity. However, the content of your application should reflect your own skills, experience, knowledge, and ideas. You may be asked at interview to expand on or discuss any part of your application.

You will triage and provide disorder specific assessments for people who have been referred into our Talking Therapies service. To do this, you will provide assessment and formulation to people presenting with complex or co-morbid presentations, who are likely to benefit from support that is not offered in a step-2 Talking Therapies service. This work will mostly be over the telephone.

You will participate in a triage rota, triaging referrals that come into the service, identifying the appropriate care pathway and managing risk and safeguarding concerns.

You must be a qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner and carry a small caseload where necessary to maintain professional registration. In addition, you will support events in the community, promoting the service to generate referrals.

Unfortunately, we’re not able to accept applications after the deadline, and we can’t accept CVs.

We have volunteer roles available in certain services across Greater Manchester. Please be aware that not all our services can offer volunteering opportunities in every location but we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
