You will support the delivery of timely access to integrated, high quality, service user-centred services that enable people with mental health needs, and/or substance misuse issues to improve their well-being and functionality, thereby preventing, reducing or delaying the need for more specialist services.

Under qualified mental health practitioners' supervision, you will work to ensure that the needs of service users are addressed by offering appropriate interventions. This will include the co-facilitation of group work, promoting wellbeing, independence and choice whilst preventing, reducing or delaying the greater onset of need.
