Do you have the commitment and positive values to make a difference to the lives of people living in east Birmingham? This particular service supports individuals to actively progress along their mental health recovery journey through support planning, proactive keyworking, the delivery of structured courses, therapeutic activities and signposting to appropriate services.
Creative Support is a non-profit organisation which provides high quality person centred social care services for people with learning disabilities, mental health and other needs.
The role
We are looking for person centred individuals who are well motivated, hardworking and keen to join our friendly team. You will work with a caseload of service users to develop individual recovery plans and coordinate a package of support which will enhance their quality of life and provide opportunities for greater social inclusion within the wider community.
You will engage with service users to build trusting, therapeutic relationships and use a psychologically minded approach whilst maintaining professional boundaries and working within Creative Support’s Recovery Model to encourage positive mental health and coping skills.
Our timetable of structured courses and therapeutic activities is updated every three months and new or alternative sessions will always be considered. We have a particular interest in applicants who have experience delivering Creative Arts based group sessions (such as Music, Photography and Arts & Crafts) or Life Skills based group sessions (such as Healthy Cooking, Budgeting or Gardening).
This role offers unique and challenging opportunities bringing great job satisfaction to those who are looking to make a positive difference to the lives of others. We provide relevant training including accredited health and social care diplomas through our own training academy.
This is a role which can be enjoyed by people who are committed to making a positive difference, including experienced care workers, graduates and people looking for a stimulating career path into social care. Full and part time hours are available.
