We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated registered social worker to join us three days a week in our new community mental health service in Wigan called Living Well (LW). The Living Well Service enables timely access to mental health services when people need it most and provides support for people who might not traditionally meet the threshold or criteria of existing mental health services. The team is multidisciplinary and includes VCFSE organizations. We also support several peer mentor roles within the team. 

The Wigan Living Well Service is compassionately led, trauma informed, and recovery focused. Living Well has co-produced key values and principles that all team members share. As a result, our model is humanistic and person-centred. Our core values are based on creating open, honest, safe spaces and conversations where all people’s strengths are valued.
