Coordinator – Eastbourne
Salary: £30,014 per year pro rata
Hours: 30 hours per week
Location: East Sussex
Closing Date: 06/03/2025
Job Description:
This role will support the Team Manager in running the Staying Well Eastbourne service, an innovative out-of-hours service providing support to people experiencing acute distress due to mental health difficulties. This psychologically informed service follows a crisis café model, which we deliver across East Sussex. The service is staffed by a mix of paid Recovery Specialists and Peer Workers.
We are looking to appoint a Coordinator to provide line management and supervision to the Peer Workers in our team, based in Eastbourne. The role will involve regular evening and alternate weekend shifts. They will be working alongside the team and coordinating the day-to-day running of the service. Coordinators liaise with the Team manager and Service Manager to ensure the overall quality of the service and assist in meeting its stated objectives.
You will be closely supported by the Team Manager in your role and will be experienced in using techniques to motivate and support people effectively. Successful candidates will require experience working with people with mental health needs, and a good understanding of local NHS or other support services.
This is an opportunity to contribute to the development of our innovative community mental health services within Eastbourne. It also provides an opportunity for successful candidates to widen their experience in supporting people with a wide range of mental health challenges. This role would suit candidates who want to hone their managerial skills and work autonomously.
