You will ensure that individuals are enabled to make progress in their personal recovery journey and to attain goals relating to their mental health & wellbeing, independence, maintenance of their tenancy, quality of life and community connections. This will be achieved through co-producing outcome-based support plans which build on strengths and assets and promote meaningful occupation, resilience and capacity for self-management.
You will promote a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere and ensure that staff are skilled in promoting recovery and positive engagement, with relationships based on respect and unconditional positive regard. You will ensure that that there is a strong commitment to equality and diversity. You will be committed to community asset-based approaches and be able to collaborate creatively with community partners as our delivery model is characterised by the use of volunteers and peer supporters as well as paid staff and by close partnership working with statutory mental health services and voluntary agencies.
You will ensure that our services are delivered effectively in accordance with assessed needs, contract requirements, service specification quality standards, and desired outcomes.
Your varied and rewarding role will include responsibility for:
• Leadership and operational management of the service
• Promoting the service to referrers and potential service users

• Management and co-ordination of all aspects of service delivery
• Liaison and joint working with the landlord
• Assessment, support planning and positive risk management
• Mentoring, supervising and supporting staff
• Organising person-centred reviews
• Enabling pathways to independence and move on as appropriate
