The successful post holder will work in person across our Wells and Bridgwater Crisis Safe Space services. They may choose either Wells or Bridgwater as their main base, and travel expenses between the two locations will be reimbursed in line with our travel policy. We are developing the exciting community crisis provision in Bridgwater & Wells and are looking to recruit experienced, enthusiastic and empathetic individuals who put the needs of the community at the centre. The purpose of the service is to provide a safe, welcoming, comfortable place for people in immediate acute emotional distress and for those seeking to prevent the onset of a crisis in Somerset. As part of your role, you will offer therapeutic and non-clinical support and empower clients through planning, grounding techniques, coping mechanisms and identification of ongoing support. You will also be supported by peer volunteers, who will help facilitate activity/group work.
