Doncaster Mind is a successful mental health charity providing a wide range of services to help support people’s mental health and wellbeing. istockphoto-1379550432-612x612

Due to the current crisis in Ukraine, Doncaster Mind has secured matched funding through National Mind and Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council to develop and deliver a project for both Ukrainian Refugees and Ukrainian Citizens already residing in Doncaster who need help with their mental health and wellbeing. This is an opportunity to support a new project which will be co-produced and co-facilitated and will provide a support network through peer support in a group setting addressing both mental health and wellbeing support and helping to reduce isolation.

To help deliver this project we are excited to be seeking a highly motivated Outreach Worker who will have knowledge and understanding of the Ukrainian culture and able to lead on the set up and delivery of the new service. We are also seeking two sessional Workers who will support the Outreach Worker in the facilitation of the group and provide practical and emotional support to the clients during the sessions.

The posts will suit individuals who are able to demonstrate an ability to work on their own initiative, well organised, good communication skills, empathy for individuals who are experiencing difficult times and ideally be able to speak both Ukrainian and English. In return, we will offer full training (including mental health training), and the opportunity to work within an exciting and dynamic organisation.
