Are you compassionate but assertive, patient and have a real appetite for those that others may have either forgotten about or turned away? Passionate about helping others? Have your own personal resilience? We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated team player, with an interest of working with people with complex needs.
The successful candidate will join our team who work with individuals who frequently attend A&E, call 999 or have been admitted to hospital more than might be expected. The work involves creating strong and trusting connections with people often with complex medical & social needs, to encourage and support them into the relevant community based services that both improves their quality of life and reduces their reliance on emergency services.
In this 18.75 hour per week role there will be community based, face to face work as well as telephone contact and liaison.
Who are Doncaster Mind’s HIU community coaches?
Community Coaches draw on the involvement and valuable skills of those around them, such as the voluntary sector, social services, clinicians and neighbourhoods, to re-connect people with services in their communities.
They may have acquired the knowledge and experience of working with people with complex lives in either a hospital or community environment. They have a strong sense of emotional intelligence, and their personality is one that strangers connect well with.
What do Doncaster Mind’s community coaches do?
Community Coaches assesses people's needs and use ‘out of the box’ thinking to support them to resolve their ongoing issues. A plan is prepared and implemented which is bespoke for each client and which is continually changing in line with their needs. Once they are flourishing independently the service discreetly allows them to decide when they no longer need its support.
If you are interested in this important role and have a passion and enthusiasm to support a growing organisation to ensure that Doncaster has the best in mental health services, we are keen to hear from you.
