About the Role

This isn’t a sit-at-your-desk kind of job. As an Outreach Support Worker, you’ll be out in the community – walking alongside people on their mental health journey. You’ll work directly with service users through 1:1 and group interventions, supporting delivery of care planned by professionals like RMNs, psychologists, and occupational therapists.

You’ll also help people reconnect with the world around them – whether it’s helping them get back into education, find work, or engage with social opportunities. Every action you take helps someone move toward stability, dignity, and a better life. If you believe in impactful work, this role delivers.

Key Responsibilities

• Support delivery of care plans and interventions designed by mental health professionals
• Help users access services and engage in their communities
• Use Dialog+ and other tools to assess health and social care needs
• Participate in team meetings and share ideas with the wider care network
• Promote recovery by supporting service users to pursue meaningful life goals
• Maintain progress notes in the electronic record system
• Provide a culturally sensitive service and communicate with compassion
