Description
Do you have experience working in mental health, do you find fulfilment in making a meaningful impact on the lives of those under your care?


We are currently seeking a Project Officer to join our team, working in a small homeless shelter in the heart of Chester.


We are offering daytime shifts from Tuesday to Friday at a rate of £12.50 per hour, 28-hour weekly contract, with the option to take on additional hours if desired.

Chester city centre parking is paid for you.


Our collaboration is with a well-established housing company, overseeing two hostels in Chester, accommodating - 9 clients at each site.

These clients are all adults over the age of 18, and the housing site is mixed-gender.

In this role, you will be:

  • Engaging with clients, creating trust and building up a relationship.
  • Assisting clients with access services, support and arranging appointments.
  • Creating a safe environment where clients can flourish and grow in confidence.
  • Support staff with administrative tasks, duties and safety checks.

To excel in this role, you should possess prior experience working in mental health, particularly in assisting individuals coping with severe mental health challenges, including self-harm tendencies.
