Mental Health Advisor

Overview

The Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub will sit alongside and compliment those provided by primary and secondary care ensuring that by working together anybody who needs a service sees the right person at the right time, through a single point of entry. Together, we're making sure we're walking alongside people who need support every step of the way. This delivers against the NHS's vision for mental health care and support through more local, community mental health services and how community services should offer whole-person, whole-population health approaches.

If you are eager to make a positive impact and tackle meaningful challenges, we offer a cooperative and supportive working environment. You will have the chance to contribute to the development of care and support systems across the borough. The role of a Mental Health Advisor has been specifically designed to provide wellbeing support to Bexley residents accessing the Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub.
