We also welcome applicants who are happy to stay in the role and become a longstanding member of the team giving them the opportunity to be part of the ongoing development of the service as it continues to evolve.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will join a small but well-established team that provides Brief Intervention support via groups for young people and parents of primary school age children to help them manage their anxiety, low mood (CBT informed) and emotional resilience (DBT informed).

Following changes made to the service during the pandemic the Case Workers are currently working from home and delivering the groups online. However, over time this is likely to change to a hybrid model and there will be an expectation to travel and deliver groups in multiple sites around the county, wherever possible we will try to limit this to localities to minimise mileage. Consideration would also be given to candidates from further afield who are willing to deliver the groups whilst purely homeworking.

In brief a typical day will consist of facilitating groups, completing administrative tasks and the opportunity to be part of continued service development
