Employer Bio
Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services (LCVS) is a reputable organisation that works in partnership with other organisations and individuals to improve the wellbeing of the local community. Our overall aim is to develop stronger communities across the city by bringing resources together to positively impact the third sector.
Job Overview
Due to securing recent funding from Mersey Care for a Community Health programme, we are looking to recruit a Mental Health Care Lead. This programme aims to strengthen personal resilience and reduce health inequalities. It provides support to people who have mental health issues to enable them to re-connect and be actively involved with their local community. The programme will focus on improving health, physical activity, education, housing, and financial stability.
Would you like to bring your experience and skills to the LCVS team and lead this inspirational project?
The Role
The Mental Health Care Lead will oversee the Community Health programme and manage the Mental Health Care Navigator, who is already in post. This is an incredible and unique opportunity to shape support across the Liverpool region.
The main duties include:
1. Delivering the community mental health programme in line with contract requirements.
2. Identifying the needs of service users and being accountable for delivering a high-quality service.
3. Increasing levels of engagement with statutory and non-statutory agencies.
4. Implementing and managing co-working strategies within the multi-disciplinary approach.
The Person
As the Mental Health Care Lead, you will have experience working with diverse communities and have a strong awareness and understanding of the voluntary sector and mental health services.
We are looking for someone who has the commitment to reduce health inequalities and is proactive and adaptable in finding creative solutions to community issues. You must be excellent at building relationships with people from diverse backgrounds, with the ability to listen, empathise, and provide person-centred support in a non-judgemental way.
We are also looking for someone who has experience in research, with knowledge of policies and procedures who can run this programme with a flexible attitude. A qualification in safeguarding (or the willingness to obtain a qualification) is essential.
Please note that this is a hybrid role based within the Liverpool area, so candidates must therefore live in this locality. If you live outside of Liverpool, please highlight your intention to relocate to the area in order to be considered.
Apply now for your opportunity to join the friendly and supportive team at LCVS who are committed to an exceptional culture of equal opportunities, anti-discrimination, and anti-oppressive policies and practice amongst employees, volunteers, and service users.
