The role involves preparing the space before a meeting and tidying up afterwards. You would help to prepare refreshments and make our service users feel welcome.

You would be able to talk openly and honestly about your experiences, demonstrating that mental ill health is nothing to be ashamed of.
You would assist people to identify their own recovery goals, providing information and support to family and friends of members where required and signposting members to professional services, other 3rd Sector support.
