Do you want to make a positive difference to people's lives, enabling them to improve their wellbeing and move forward to independent living?  If so, please read on.

Servol Community Services is an established charity which provides high quality accommodation and support for adults living with mental ill health and complex conditions. We are looking to create a new team to join our supported living service in the London Borough of Sutton (units are based in SM2 and SM5) and we need Complex Needs Keyworkers to support our adult service users who have complex mental health diagnoses.

As a key member of the team, you will:

• undertake support sessions for our service users using a trauma informed approach.
• liaise with external agencies (such as CPNs, Social Workers, Community Mental Health Teams etc.) to ensure that service users can access valuable resources and to meet their health & social care needs.
• encourage service users to contribute to the development of the service and that the service users feel they are partners in their recovery journey.
• work in a person-centred way to ensure those we support have the skills and tools to achieve their goals. 
• create a service that provides the highest standards of person-centred support, ensuring compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements.

Servol recognises the importance of lived experience when working with service users with complex needs and welcome applications from individuals who have first-hand experience of mental ill health.
