As with any charity, the support we receive from individuals and charitable trusts helps us to continue to provide our essential services. However, support isn’t all about money – we value any kind of contribution you may be able to make to our services or organisation.
Mind in Camden have an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual to join our Hearing Voices Team as a Service Manager. We are looking for a motivated and experienced individual to help sustain and develop our hearing voices projects which include Voice Collective (supporting young people and their families), Voices Unlocked (supporting people in prisons, forensic units and Immigration Removal Centres) and the London Hearing Voices Network (a network of peer support groups for adults who hear voices across London).
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of overseeing and developing these projects while being part of a team that is able to be creative and innovative in its approach. To be successful in this role, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the Hearing Voices Movement and the role of peer support within this, in addition to understanding the importance of different frameworks for understanding mental distress. You will have experience of supervising or mentoring staff/volunteers, and have the skills necessary to build a strong and effective team. The role offered is on a hybrid basis where you will be coming into the office on a weekly basis, but also have the space to work from home.
With the confidence and organisational skills necessary to take the lead on busy and diverse projects, on the cutting edge of the Hearing Voices Movement, you will be required to engage with a wide range of stakeholders (from mental health services, prisons, forensic settings, academic institutions, and youth sectors). As such, this role is best suited to someone who is flexible enough to modify their approach to suit the situation. We are looking for someone with strong facilitation skills, who is able to communicate the values of the Hearing Voices Network clearly and accessibly in a range of settings.
As well as having responsibility for the day to day management of the projects, including supervising staff/volunteers and ensuring we meet targets agreed with funders, you will also be required to undertake direct development work when necessary. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of voices or visions and are able to use this experience to inform, and enhance, their work.
