Role

We have an exciting opportunity for two people to join our Midlothian Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Team. This post is fixed term and is funded by Midlothian Health and Social Care Partnership. 

The successful applicant will use their own lived experience to engage with people facing mental health difficulties and deliver time-managed, outcome focused one-to-one support. You will work in a person-centered, trauma informed and strength-based way, supporting people with a range of issues important to their mental health and well-being. 

One-to-one support will be delivered in various community venues across Midlothian, occasionally also by phone or on video platforms such as Zoom, to ensure accessibility and flexibility.

You will have excellent communication, IT, administration, and organisational skills, and you will develop and maintain positive and effective working relationships with a range of stakeholders, key partners, and relevant professionals. 

You will be office based, travel is required across Midlothian and flexibility in working hours will also be expected to meet the needs of people we support.

If you have experience in these areas and are passionate about supporting people and helping them to improve their mental health, we’d love to hear from you! If you would like to discuss this opportunity further, please contact Krzysztof Nowak by email @ krzysztof.nowak@health-in-mind.org.uk
