We have an opportunity for a Community Mental Health Crisis Navigator to join the organisation on a 12-month fixed term basis overseeing a pilot phase for one of two Greater Manchester Overnight Community Crisis Hubs.
Our Community Mental Health Crisis Service is an innovative, community-based alternative to hospital admission and emergency department attendance for adults experiencing mental health crisis, emotional distress and psychosocial challenges. Operating as an overnight crisis space, the service provides a safe, welcoming and recovery-focused environment where people can access immediate support, stabilisation, and connection to ongoing care.
As a Navigator, you will support the operational running of the shift, support and guide Community Mental Health Crisis Peer Support Workers, coordinate responses to individuals experiencing mental health crisis, and manage safeguarding, risk and escalation processes. The role works collaboratively with statutory and voluntary sector partners to ensure people receive the right support at the right time, reduce escalation to acute services and are connected to appropriate ongoing services.
What you will bring to TOGS Mind:
- Passionate staff who have a desire to support vulnerable Adults in Mental Health Crisis in line with our organisational values.
- A strong track record of working in mental health, health, social care or community-based services.
- Expertise in shift coordinating, team working, providing a safe and confidential service, and partnership working.
- A passion for improving outcomes for people experiencing mental health crisis.
- Confidence in partnership communication, de-escalation of risk and safeguarding including safety planning, and team support.
- Commitment to recovery, trauma-informed practice and the belief that people can move beyond crisis when supported with compassion, dignity and hope.
