We believe that everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health needs and we have a part to play in that. Now we have a chance of being able to extend access to mental health support by being part of the new Manchester Living Well Service. Working in partnership with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust and other voluntary sector partners – this is a chance to make a difference. Manchester Mind will be hosting a number of posts within this team including:
Benefits, Debt and Housing Advice Worker
We know that lack of money, debt and poor housing can be a primary cause or exacerbate mental health problems. Therefore this role will be very important within this new mental health service. The role will offer an advice service across Manchester and take referrals from within the Living Well Team.
Salary: £26,245 – £30,464 (dependent on experience) (pro rata)
Hours: 21 hours per week
The skills and knowledge that are important to us are:
- Experience of delivering advice across debt, benefits and housing
- Ability to work in a strengths-based way that recognises the potential for people to develop and enable resilience.
- A commitment to working collaboratively to help bring about change.
