As a Psychological Wellbeing Worker, you will support people at all stages of their recovery journey to improve their psychological wellbeing and develop the skills and determination to achieve their goals. You will use your psychology and therapeutic counselling skills to encourage people to engage with the recovery process and make positive changes to their lives. You may work with colleagues to deliver a variety of wellbeing interventions designed to promote positive behaviour change. Delivery may include group work, as well as structured and non-structured one-to-one work. You will be required to work flexibly from different sites and be willing to work some evenings and weekends.
We are looking for approachable and empathetic people who have a passionate for helping others and instigating change. You will also:
* Have experience of delivering group work.
* Have experience of working to motivate and inspire people to make positive changes to their wellbeing and lives.
* Have evidence of managing a client caseload.
* Be an effective communicator and experience of different communication styles.
* Have experience of building therapeutic working relationships., If successful in securing an interview we will need to ask you about any unspent convictions as part of our duty of care. A criminal conviction will not necessarily prevent you from being offered a role; the decision will depend on the type of offence and its relevance to the role. All of our roles require a criminal record check.
Emerging Futures works nationally with people affected by addiction, encouraging them to make positive changes to their lives.
We believe that no one should suffer the stigma associated with addiction, and that everyone seeking support should feel valued and respected. We provide homes for people to connect with others and make the necessary changes to move towards independent, healthy living. Our behaviour change services provide a confidential space to share experiences, and offer practical support to those who want to change. The Emerging Futures accredited coach training develops the skills of our volunteers, motivating people to give back and reconnect with their community.
