Mental Health Night Support Worker

Do you see yourself working for a CQC rated outstanding service? Douglas House is proud to be one of only 6% highest rated mental health services in the UK and is part of Turning–Point, a leading Health and Social Care Organisation and a Registered Charity. We are located in a community setting near to Didsbury Village, Manchester with great transport links. We care for 12 male and female service users, who experience severe and enduring mental health issues, offering therapeutic packages of mental health rehabilitation to those who are both informal and detained under the Mental Health Act.  Working alongside a full and varied multi-disciplinary team consisting of consultant psychiatrists, doctors, mental health nurses, art therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, support workers, project workers, and peer support workers. You will develop therapeutic relationships with service users, and help them to develop appropriate coping strategies and skills for independent living. Health and social care experience or qualification would be desirable but we can support you to gain further qualifications whilst in post if you are the right person for the job. You must be an excellent communicator, be enthusiastic about giving good care and possess good people skills. As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support. We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package. You will get 31 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 33 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
