You have demonstrable experience of working with/supporting individuals with mental health problems, including providing advice and guidance, developing structured action plans and setting goals. You’d also like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with. Welcome to Waythrough as a Community Links Advisor.
Wingfield Resource Centre is a mental health, supported housing and community-based service, working to a recovery model. We provide a range of support services for people with mental ill health to access in their local community, including outreach support, peer support and supported housing. We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a staffed service to our residents aged 18 and upwards.
This 2-year pilot service will provide early intervention outreach, offering preventative support to parents of young families living in East Surrey. This support will focus on maintaining positive mental health and well-being, by increasing support and social networks. It will include the offer of a Wellbeing Assessment to identify the person’s needs, digital support tools then signposting or referrals to ongoing community support resources (e.g., reducing isolation, building resilience and peer networks), as well as follow-up appointments to ensure that the support was appropriate, and the person is engaging before closing their placement.
As well as supporting individuals, a part of your role will be to build on networks within these communities, identifying individual needs and working closely with our Waythrough Community Connections team to create opportunities to address those needs.
If you are kind, empathetic, a great communicator and passionate about supporting the mental and emotional wellbeing of families and communities, this could be the perfect role for you. Experience of working within a mental health setting will be beneficial, as well as experience of working in the community, liaising with a range of individuals and organisations to provide positive outcomes for individuals and their families.
