Developing and maintaining good relations with residents’ relatives, friends and others involved in their lives and their care
Assessing, advising and supporting residents in their dealings with outside agencies
Assisting with some support in the community for certain residents who have moved on to live more independently

Requirements:

Positive attitude towards people experiencing mental health difficulties
Excellent communication skills and basic IT proficiency
Full driving license (for transporting residents in company vehicles)

Nice to have:
