Our Rise & Shine service is specifically set up to work with individuals who often fall through the gaps of service provision (such as those over the age of 63 who are experiencing mental health difficulties), and it would be desirable if potential candidates had expertise of working with this age group.

We are looking for candidates who have experience of empowering individuals to make positive changes to their lives, supporting clients with complex needs in a relevant field. Successful candidates will need to be compassionate, non-judgemental, skilled in active listening, and experienced in risk management and safety planning, as well as being a skilled communicator able to develop partnership relationships in a multi-disciplinary team.

Please address the specific points of the person specification within your application and use examples to say why you meet each criteria. Please also complete the equal opportunities form. This is optional but is very helpful, as it enables us to ensure our recruitment process is fair and is not inadvertently discriminating against any particular groups. The form will not be shared with the selection panel or used during the recruitment process.

We look forward to hearing from you.
