You'll become part of the Taunton Community Mental Health Service, a team dedicated to supporting adults experiencing mental health difficulties across the community. Working alongside qualified professionals, fellow Support Time and Recovery Workers, primary care colleagues and voluntary sector partners, you'll help deliver person-centred care that focuses on strengths, recovery and hope.
You will spend much of your time working directly with people in their homes and local communities, helping them develop skills for daily living, improve social connections, access community resources, and work towards greater independence. You may also support individuals during periods of inpatient care, helping to maintain continuity of support and ease their transition back into community life.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has experience working with people in a caring, support, customer-facing or community-based role.
- Demonstrates excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with a compassionate and person-centred approach.
- Can remain calm, professional and supportive when working with people experiencing distress or challenging situations.
- Is organised, able to manage their own workload, and works effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
- Holds an NVQ in Health and Social Care (or equivalent), or is willing to undertake training to achieve this qualification.
- Is committed to supporting equality, diversity, recovery and inclusion for everyone who uses our services.
- Is comfortable using digital systems and technology to support high-quality care.
- This post requires a full driving licence and permanent access to a vehicle with appropriate business insurance, as travel throughout the community is an essential part of the role and you must be able to work across a 24/7 shift pattern as required including weekends and nights
In return, you'll benefit from regular supervision, ongoing learning opportunities, support from experienced colleagues, and the chance to make a genuine difference to people's recovery journeys every day.
