Referrals are received via the NHS 111 option 2 service, mental health teams and mental health liaison which are supported by our emotional support team, if it is felt it will be beneficial a referral will be made to the outreach team.

The role requires you to take an assertive approach to meet clients with serious and enduring mental health difficulties, assessing how best to support them while encouraging engagement that includes signposting and attending appointments with primary and secondary Mental Health services.  Travel will be required to support service users throughout the mid Essex area including, Braintree, Maldon and Chelmsford.

We are a real living wage employer and offer our staff a range of health, wellbeing, lifestyle and financial benefits to ensure that we fully support our employees.
