Manchester Living Well Service is a new way of working, bringing collaborative working to the fore so that people with mental health issues – particularly people who often fall between secondary and primary care services can be better able to access support. Your role in the Living Well Teams will be integral in ensuring people get a warm welcome that they are treated with respect and are listened to and heard. You will ensure they get to the right service whether that is inside or outside Living Well. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team and take part in the discussions about the type of support a person may need and you will be then instrumental in identifying where that might come from. You will also be able to offer support to individuals on a short-term basis especially if the help they need is around access. You will ensure that both internally and externally the service you deliver will be done in line with the principles of a trauma informed approach. Living Well is underpinned by the understanding that building trusting and kind relationships makes a difference. This role will be collaborative and create a sense of belonging where people feel able to contribute.
Thrive Manchester value the importance of flexible working. The services are a hybrid of online and in person delivery and therefore this role will include travelling to locations across South Manchester. This role will be situated with the Living Well team located within Benchill Community Centre. Thrive Manchester’s head office is also located at Benchill Community Centre and there may be the opportunity for some home working if desired.
