Administrator - Homebased Sheffield, England
Job description
We are looking for a dedicated & passionate Administrator to work as part of our Advice, Information & Training Team.
This is a homebased role with occasional travel in and around the Sheffield area.
Imagine being part of an organisation whose common purpose is to help those who are severely impacted by mental illness. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity – and that’s why equity is one of our core values. We draw on the expertise, unique perspectives and lived experience of our people – regardless of who they are or their background – to help us become inclusive and anti-racist employer, campaigning organisation and service provider that reflect the diverse communities we support as a mental health charity.
Sheffield will be one of Rethink’s four national innovation sites in England to support communities and health and social care systems to come together to realise whole society and whole system mental health ambitions.
The initial steps towards achieving this will be the formation of networked stakeholders working together under an umbrella alliance. The objectives will be around supporting Sheffield to transition to Whole System Working, co-production of an outcomes framework for new integrated charity, social enterprise and statutory services, and supporting grassroots organisations through micro-grants and connection to other sector stakeholders.
