About Us
We are seeking a Discharge Support Worker to join our Mental Health Floating Support team, within wards in Greater Manchester. There are multiple sites available (with some local community outreach) in North and South Manchester.

We are looking for someone to work a maximum of 32.5 hours.
Our person-centred approach aims to encourage our service users in their aspirations, while supporting them to have the best quality of life. You will support individuals to work towards achieving outcomes across key areas, including independent living and social skills, community links and social inclusion, and pathways to meaningful employment.

- Ensuring clear targets for outputs, timescales and quality
- Providing direct support and practical assistance in accessing housing and support options
- Provide support to maximise financial wellness
- Create links with housing and support providers to create sustainable pathways
