Assistant Care Manager, Mental Health Swindon, Wiltshire, South West England, England
Job description
We are bold and ambitious in our plans, with a clear vision and direction for the future. Our status as one of the UK’s fastest growing towns is driving transformational change across
our organisation, most significantly within our highly valued Adults’ Services teams.
Swindon Borough Council has ended the secondment arrangements after many years of social workers being seconded into the mental health NHS Trust.
We are forming a new Mental Health team within the council.
Your next role
This is an opportunity to join and shape a newly formed team with high ambitions to support people with a mental illness in Swindon.
You will demonstrate excellent communication and assessment skills and enjoy working in a fast paced but supportive environment.
Experience of working with mental health clients is beneficial to the role but we will consider people who have sound practice skills and are willing to learn more about mental health work.
You will also be passionate about ensuring people with a mental illness are supported to live their best lives.
You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).
Your next package
Please see our Rewards and Benefits offer for more details.
As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.
For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.
Please see our Vision and Values page for more details.
