If you are looking for a rewarding career and to work within an epic team that will help you grow and thrive, then you have come to the right place. Working within our DBI Moray service you can start your day knowing what you do really does make a difference!
DBI provides an 'ask once get help fast' approach and has two levels: a Level 1 response from frontline partnership agencies and Level 2 supportive interventions delivered by Penumbra Mental Health.
A Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will respond to a referral made on behalf of a person experiencing distress within 24 hours, with the provision of time-limited support. We support individuals over 16 years old across Tayside. The Practitioner will deliver problem-solving support, wellness and distress management planning, supported connections, and signposting for a period of up to 14 days, which can be community-based or remote.
A typical day for a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner varies. Tasks will include taking a referral from start to finish in a caring and compassionate manner, tailored to the supported person's individual needs. The Practitioner will be flexible to these needs, ensuring they deliver person-centred support. The Practitioner will communicate with external agencies, e.g., Police Scotland, NHS, etc.
Various training opportunities are provided across topics such as Emotional Intelligence, Motivational Interviewing, GDPR, and more. Other duties will include managing their own caseload, accurate recording, and liaising with external providers within the geographical location for effective signposting/referring.
As a mental health charity, we value the wellbeing of our staff. You'll be joining a friendly team that provides a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.
We offer a range of employee benefits, and we promise you'll be inspired by amazing individuals every day. We will support you on your career path, developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences, and providing opportunities to practice your continual progress.
