Closing date: 9am 10th February 2021
Interview date: 22nd/23rd February 2021

About us:

Porchlight is passionate about helping vulnerable people to reach their full potential. We strive for a fairer society where vulnerable people find stability, the most excluded are included, and where everyone has a chance to thrive.

Porchlight has an exciting opportunity to expand the successful Live Well Kent service into Medway on behalf of Kent & Medway CCG, leading to Live Well Kent & Medway - a network of services (led by strategic partners Porchlight and Shaw Trust) that helps people who are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing.

The role:

When someone’s mental health declines, it could be due to the effect of ongoing social problems - such as housing issues, debt or becoming isolated from others. The role will provide support in these areas, as well as mental health needs, alleviating the pressures people face, promoting recovery and wellbeing. As part of our mental health link team, you will support people with issues related to mental health, physical health, finance, housing, employment, as well as referring and signposting to other services in the community.

You’ll work with people on a one-to-one basis, assessing their needs, setting goals and helping them become more involved with the local community. This role involves working closely with other professionals and organisations, including primary care networks, to make sure people are receiving the most appropriate support for their needs.

What you need:
- Good communication and people skills
- The ability to develop constructive relationships with the people we support
- The ability to develop strong working relationships with other organisations
- Good literacy, numeracy and IT skills.

Benefits: As a member of the Porchlight team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:
- Free life insurance
- Flexible working hours
- 25 days holiday per year (increasing to 30 days after 5 years service) pro rata
- Porchlight pension scheme (contributions matched up to 7%)
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
