About You

You may already have experience supporting people with mental health needs - if not, we'll provide full training. What matters most is your willingness to learn, your empathy, and your ability to communicate clearly and confidently.

You’ll need:

• An understanding of mental health and its impact on daily life
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Confidence working independently and as part of a team
• Good IT skills, including Word, email and basic databases

About the Service

Our Stafford service supports adults living with a range of mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression. Some individuals may present with self-harm behaviours, substance misuse or verbal aggression.

We also support people with forensic backgrounds who may be under Ministry of Justice (MOJ) conditions and working alongside Firs team professionals. It's a busy and dynamic environment with regular involvement from multi-disciplinary teams, so confidence, resilience and effective communication are key.

Our Values

We are committed to building an environment where everyone feels respected, included and empowered. Our CHOICE values - Caring, Honest, One Team, Innovative, Courageous and Equal - guide everything we do and shape how we work together every day.

This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
