Description

Do you have compassion and empathy for people who are struggling with their mental wellbeing? Could you inspire hope for people who are struggling with their mental health?

Second Step is a leading mental health charity in the Southwest offering housing, support and hope to people with mental health and other problems. Our vision is that we believe in a world where everyone affected by mental health problems can create a positive future. We promote mental health and wellbeing by supporting people and communities to build brighter futures.

We are recruiting a Senior Recovery Navigator to join our team in Bristol, specifically covering the Inner City & East Bristol locality (ICE). Working collaboratively with the client, GP, Social Prescribing Link Workers and other healthcare professionals, you will support clients with moderate to high enduring mental health difficulties to find coping strategies personally and within their community.

Why not join our team to support our clients on their recovery journey by:

- building a trusting and collaborative relationship with the client; demonstrating hope and courage

- supporting the client to utilise self-management tools e.g., Wellness Recovery Action Plan to stay well.
- using a range of interventions, approaches, and tools (motivational interviewing, active listening, navigation, solution-focused support) that enables people to move positively through their recovery.
- navigating the 'wider system' which includes supporting the client to access appropriate support.
- enabling clients to make informed decisions about their mental wellbeing, maximizing their independence and providing an advocacy role where appropriate.
