For Scotland’s Mental Health

About the Role

Are you passionate about working in mental health? Do you have experience using recovery focused interventions? The George Street project is a 24/7 mental health care at home and housing support service. We support people living with severe and enduring mental health conditions to live fulfilled lives and achieve their goals by providing emotional, social and practical support.

This is a challenging and exciting opportunity to make a difference to peoples’ lives. The successful candidate will play an important role in providing a person centred approach, by utilising recovery focused interventions to support individuals to develop the skills and positive support networks required to live an independent life and maintain a tenancy in the community.

As a key worker you will provide direct emotional and practical support to individuals to improve their mental health and wellbeing by working with individuals on a 1-2-1 basis, in their own home. The Key worker is a flexible, multi skilled role where you will work with individuals and their care teams to identify strengths, issues and create goals. You will encourage individuals to recognise and use their existing strengths to build new skills, habits and routines for self-management, whilst promoting positive engagement within their local community.

You will be allocated to a service base but may be required to work flexibly across other local area services.

You will work in a supportive environment and will be provided with a full induction and training opportunities. You will be given the chance to develop your knowledge and skills, as well as develop professionally.
