🌟 Mental Health Support Worker – Make a Difference Every Day 🌟
📍 Location: Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria
💷 Salary: £13.45 per hour
🕙 Hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00am – 3:00pm
📋 Contract: Part-Time, Perm
💙 Do you want a role where you can make a real difference?
At Northern Healthcare, we believe that recovery is possible for everyone. We're looking for a Mental Health Support Worker to join our friendly team in Barrow-in-Furness, supporting adults with mental health needs to live as independently as possible.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building genuine relationships, getting out and about, and helping people make the most of their day.
The role is Monday to Friday, 10am–3pm, making it ideal for someone looking for consistent daytime hours.
🌟 What You'll Be Doing
As a Mental Health Support Worker, no two days will be exactly the same. You'll provide practical, emotional, and person-centred support, helping the people we support achieve their goals and maintain their independence.
A key part of this role will be supporting people to get out into the community. This could include:
- 🚗 Supporting people to attend appointments – helping individuals get to GP appointments, hospital appointments, health reviews, and other important commitments.
- 🎨 Supporting activities within the service – helping plan and deliver activities that encourage social interaction, confidence, independence, and wellbeing.
- 🌳 Getting out and about – supporting people to access the local community, go for walks, visit local places, attend activities, or simply enjoy some time away from the service.
- ☕ Building relationships – spending quality time with the people we support, getting to know their interests, preferences, and goals.
- 🧩 Supporting independence – encouraging individuals to develop everyday skills and make their own choices wherever possible.
- 💬 Providing emotional support – being someone who listens, understands, and provides reassurance when needed.
- 📝 Recording and communicating – maintaining accurate records and sharing important information with colleagues to ensure consistent, high-quality support.
- 🛡️ Promoting safety and wellbeing – following care plans, risk assessments, safeguarding procedures, and Northern Healthcare policies.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
💙 It's About More Than Support
Sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference. It could be accompanying someone to an appointment they've been worried about, helping someone try a new activity, going out for a coffee, encouraging someone to take part in an activity they've previously avoided, or simply being there to listen.
You'll help the people we support to build confidence, develop independence, and enjoy meaningful experiences.
🎯 What We're Looking For
You don't necessarily need previous experience in mental health. We're looking for people who are:
- Kind, caring, and compassionate
- Patient and understanding
- Reliable and responsible
- Confident communicating with others
- Comfortable supporting people in the community
- Creative and enthusiastic about activities
- Able to encourage and motivate others
- Respectful of individual choices, dignity, and independence
- Comfortable working as part of a team
- Committed to making a positive difference
