Oxfordshire Mind – wellbeing worker: physical health and wellbeing

People with severe mental illness (SMI) face stark health inequalities and are less likely to have their physical health needs met.

In this role you'll:

• Deliver physical health checks for people on the SMI register
• Support people who struggle with motivation to engage in having a physical health check
• Provide support to service users to encourage and support them to make positive lifestyle changes
• Provide education around the importance of physical health checks to service users
• Ensure timely and accurate reporting on databases

About you

We're looking for someone who's:

• Open – Are you open to help people realise their potential?
• Together – Are you a team player?
• Responsive – Are you a good listener?
• Independent – Do you have the confidence to speak out fearlessly?
• Unstoppable – Do you have a positive, never give up attitude?

If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you!
