You will be responsible for providing crisis prevention for visitors and their families, who are accessing the service, as well as signposting into other services.

You will work in collaboration with external agencies, such as GPs, mental health crisis teams, A and E, police and other partners, whilst being responsible for administrative tasks and successfully managing your own caseloads.

To be successfully considered for the crisis support worker role, you must:

* Be educated to a minimum of NVQ Level 3 in health and social care

* Have experience, whether it be in a lived or professional capacity, of mental health issues

* Demonstrate excellent communication skills, and display warmth and empathy
