Summary
Join Our Team as a Mental Health Support Worker!
Do you enjoy making a real difference in people’s lives by supporting mental health recovery and independence?
As a Mental Health Support Worker, you’ll be at the heart of a person-centred residential service, providing practical, emotional, and therapeutic support to adults with complex mental health needs. Based at Oakwood Hall in Leeds, you'll help residents feel safe, respected, and empowered while supporting their independence and wellbeing—whether it's assisting with daily living skills, delivering medication support, or promoting healthy routines during waking night shifts.
Who we’re looking for:
• A compassionate, calm, and non-judgemental approach to supporting people in distress
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work well in a team
• Experience supporting vulnerable individuals, ideally within mental health or related services
• Flexibility to work shifts, including waking nights and weekends
Why Join Us?
We understand that when people feel supported and valued, they can achieve great things – and we want you to be part of that.
Here’s what you’ll enjoy as part of our team:
Flexible working options to help you balance work and life in a way that suits you.
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 30 days with service – because your time off matters.
A wealth of learning and career development opportunities, with paid and tailored training to support your growth.
Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme 24/7, including access to counselling and GP services – your wellbeing is a priority.
Employer contributory pension scheme to help secure your future.
Great maternity, paternity and adoption benefits to support you and your family.
Exclusive care workers discounts to make life a little easier.
Access to a range of Employee Networks including People of Colour, LGBT+, Mental Health and Accessibility – we embrace and celebrate diversity.
A variety of health and wellbeing initiatives to keep you feeling your best.
Cycle to Work Scheme to help you stay active and reduce your carbon footprint.
Access to a Corporate Health Plan to support your physical and mental health.
We embrace diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive, anti-racist environment where everyone can thrive by being their true self. Join us in driving this important agenda forward and help shape a workplace where all voices are valued!
If you’re ready to use your skills to help others succeed, we’d love to hear from you.
For an informal chat about the role please contact Lyndsay Preston, Team Leader via Lyndsay.preston@inspirenorth.co.uk or 07391868742.
