- £29,249 pro-rata
- On site: based at Craigroyston Health Centre with regular community working across North-West Edinburgh
- Closing 15th January 2025
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a new member of staff to join our team and be part of a ground-breaking approach to mental health services!
Thrive Edinburgh brings together a collaboration of partner organisations who work together to improve the mental health and wellbeing of people across the city, with the aim of supporting people to live well and fulfil their potential.
We are looking for an experienced Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner to join our North-West Edinburgh Thrive Welcome Team, someone with at least two years of experience in delivering mental health support. This role is part of a multidisciplinary team, including Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners, Peer Workers, Mental Health Nurses, Occupational Therapists and Social Workers. Together we deliver a multi-disciplinary approach, so people can access support when and how they need it.
You will support the delivery of regular Thrive Drop Ins in North-West Edinburgh. You will also deliver short-term individual support, improving people’s mental health and wellbeing, supporting self-management and community connections through the person-centred support you offer.
If you have experience of delivering mental health support and are interested in this opportunity, we’d love to hear from you!
Change Mental Health is a leading national mental health charity providing unique support to people with severe and enduring mental ill health. With over 50 years’ experience across Scotland, we believe people affected by poor mental health and illness deserve the highest quality of support in the community and that every person has the right to be valued and to share in the opportunities, challenges, and joys of everyday life.
As a Senior Practitioner, you will be responsible for one-to-one support including carrying a case load and developing and reviewing personal support plans; you will work autonomously, being able to judge when to refer to your manager and you will take a lead role in developing the service.
You will work mainly on a one-to-one basis in the community and/or in people’s homes; and you may support group and other activities in the Change Mental Health Resource Centre – although one to one support will be your main focus.
You will support the Locality, Service, and Area Managers in their strategic role to meet national and funder criteria. You will work closely with partners in the community to identify gaps in the service when and where they arise and implement solutions in partnership with your line manager.
