Link Worker - Middlesex, United Kingdom - West London NHS Trust
Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a skilled and enthusiastic Community Mental Health Link Worker within the Acton MINT team in the borough of Ealing.
We are seeking to recruit individuals with a good understanding of mental illness as well as excellent communication, personal, and customer service skills, who have a passion for wanting to empower and support individuals with their recovery journey.
The community mental health framework for adults and older adults set out a vision for providing services in local settings that better reflected the needs of the local population.
West London NHS Trust is one of a small number of pilot sites and has developed an exciting new Mental Health Integrated Network Teams (MINT) service that offers service users more needs based, episodic interventions integrated with primary care.
Link Work will be a key specialism within MINT, overseeing recovery focused interventions that make use of community assets as well as those of the multi-disciplinary team.
You will play a vital role in connecting people who are experiencing a challenge with their mental health with community supports and resources.
As a Link Worker you will specialise in signposting to and supporting with referrals to identified appropriate community resources, fostering autonomy and promoting independence, building on the individual's strengths and aiding in gaining skills and confidence in collaboratively identified areas of support, as well as escalating concerns should they arise.
You will be comfortable working both on your own and with others from a range of different backgrounds. You'll need to be resilient, motivated, and committed to adapt to working in an ever-changing environment.
