Family Action & the Role’s Impact: At Family Action we support people through change, challenge or crisis. It’s what we’ve done for over 150 years. We protect children, support young people and adults and offer direct, practical help to families and communities.

We see first‑hand the power of family to shape lives, for better or worse, so we speak up for the importance of family in national and local policymaking, amplify family voices and represent the changing needs of families in the UK today.

Living Well is a transformative programme to deliver real change and improvement to mental health services for individuals in Bolton. Its aim is to design a service that sits around individuals to support their health and wellbeing rather than expecting people to fit into our services.

We are looking for someone with knowledge and understanding of Mental Health conditions and their impact on daily living and a strong track‑record of working with individuals and their families to deliver positive outcomes.

Main Responsibilities:

• You will carry a caseload of clients, working with individuals and their families to plan, support and achieve goals and outcomes that are important to them.
• Develop trusting working relationships and provide practical and emotional support to individuals accessing the Living Well service.
• Develop and maintain positive professional working relationships and referral pathways to local statutory and community‑based services which support adults.

Main Requirements (for details check the job description and person specification):

• Strong interpersonal, consultation and holistic assessment skills.
• An interest in working with people to make sustainable positive changes.
• An effective communicator, who works in a person‑centred way.
