CALDERDALE SAFESPACE: Help for people in emotional distress
We are seeking dynamic, experienced Project Workers for our Safespace service.
Calderdale Safespace offers out-of-hours support during Wednesday and weekend evenings for people in emotional distress with a view to reducing the number of people attending A&E or NHS mental health services – or not getting any support otherwise.

· Have experience of working in similar services, supporting people in emotional distress
· Have a solid understanding of statutory crisis services
· Have a good understanding of mental health recovery
· Work within a team consisting of project workers, volunteers and input from other services
· Think and work flexibly to find the best ways to meet people’s needs
We are recruiting for a contracted Project Worker and casual / bank staff to cover absence. These posts may suit someone seeking additional hours and experience.
Hours (contracted): 6 hours per week: Saturday evenings (5.30 -11.30pm).
Pay: £330 actual monthly gross salary for 6 hours per week + 5% employer’s pension contribution. (Based on NJC point 26 : £24,799 per annum gross, pro-rata)
Casual / Relief hours: will be offered to relief staff as required, and may be at short notice. Safespace shifts are 6 hours on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Pay: relief hours are paid at £13.77 per hour gross.
Closing date for completed applications: 9.00 am on Monday 2nd September 2019.
