Job Summary

Table of Contents

We are excited to be able to offer 2 new opportunities for support workers to join our expanding services.

These roles will support patients with mental health issues as they transition from Accident and Emergency Departments and inpatient hospital beds back to the community and into their homes.

Returning home and accessing services can often be an extremely challenging time, and I believe that we have an opportunity to improve this experience for patients under our care.

If you have experience in support work and your own experience of recovery, then I would like to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

Working alongside Mental Health Liaison Practitioners, the post holder will be based within The Mental Health Liaison Service (Working Age Adults). The role will cover Gloucester Royal and Cheltenham General Hospitals, working with individuals with mental health problems and other vulnerabilities who have come into contact with the Emergency Departments and Inpatient Wards.

The post holder will support clients to access and utilise a range of community services in order to improve their use of these resources, which is likely to improve their mental health, social difficulties and reduce the risk of them re-offending. The post holder will actively engage and work with a small number of individuals who are likely to have a wide range of mental health problems, along with a level of co-existing complex needs, including homelessness, substance misuse problems, significant risk histories, and social exclusion, and who at times may present with extremely challenging behaviours.

The support and recovery workers will provide time-limited 1:1 support to clients, enabling them to access a wide range of services that can provide help and advice with, for example, mental health, housing, social exclusion, substance misuse, education, employment, and debt management difficulties. The post holder will be expected to develop good links with community resources in order to enable improved and supported access to services.
