We will work with the communities, especially from an intersectional lens to develop co-produced wellbeing activities to ensure greater mental health and wellbeing. Activities such as walking, cooking, reading, banner making, gardening groups and one to one support will be provided. This job would suit someone who is able to work with a diverse range of people to ensure they can meet their mental health and wellbeing goals but also has good relational skills.
Programme
This role will be part of two programmes of work which we are funded for. One is our existing mental health and wellbeing drop-in programme, one to one advice and advocacy for LGBTQ+ communities, and a second programme of work called Lewisham Proud and Well, designed to work with communities to co-produce activities which will support and stimulate wellbeing for the participants. The aim of the programme is to help participants feel more independent and more aware of the range of service provision and help that is available locally. We want to build an intersectional group of people and create the environment where LGBTQ+ people of colour can support and encourage each other towards greater wellbeing.
Role
This role will include client assessment, one-to-one support and advice work, as well as group work facilitation. You will work alongside and be line managed by the Programme Coordinator for Lewisham Mental Health and wellbeing services, co-facilitating group work and one-to-one support together. You will also work with a small team of volunteers who work on the projects.
