Job summary

Do you want the privilege of making a positive impact on the mental wellbeing of people? Are you compassionate and recovery focussed? If so, we are recruiting Senior Support Time Recovery Workers to join our Integrated Mental Health Teams across Staffordshire Prisons.

Our teams are made up of different roles, skills and expertise, which benefits those needing our care, and we share a passion for providing good quality mental health care. As a Senior STR Worker you will offer support and mental health interventions to those people in prison experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties. You will play an invaluable role in supporting people in prison who are often vulnerable and disadvantaged.

You will receive support, guidance and supervision from a registered mental health practitioner and will have vast opportunities from your colleagues within the team.

This role is both rewarding and challenging. If you want to make a positive difference then we would love to hear from you.

There are both full time and part times vacancies available.

Main duties of the job

Working effectively within the team you will assist in the assessment of care needs and the formulation, implementation and evaluation of programmes of care. You will deliver relevant forms of mental health care under agreed levels of supervision and will assist in identifying strategies to support mental wellbeing and the promotion of self-care and social inclusion.

You will work collaboratively with colleagues to meet the needs of patients and will liaise with other professionals, statutory and non-statutory, to provide holistic care and treatment. 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.

Inclusion (part of Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust) has prison substance misuse and mental health teams across the country and you will benefit from training and development opportunities as well as the support of an NHS employer experienced in providing prison healthcare for many years.
