Summary
In this vital role, you will provide essential project and administrative support to the Groundwork Mental Health Support Team (MHST) service in Southwark as well as other projects within the Youth Team mainly through financial management.

The Groundwork Youth Team also provides whole team Wellbeing Days allowing colleagues to take the day off from their regular workday to socialise and participate in a range of activities to support positive wellbeing and team cohesion. Employees for Groundwork London receive Health Shield benefits which allow staff to claim money back for a wide variety of health and wellbeing services including dental work, opticians’ appointments and massages.

We are passionate about creating a future where every neighbourhood is vibrant and green, every community is strong and able to shape its own destiny, and no-one is held back by their background or circumstance.
