The Opportunity
WorkWell is a government funded programme that offers an early-intervention work and health support and assessment service. This provides holistic support to overcome health-related barriers to employment, and a single, joined-up gateway to other support services.
We work in partnership with mental and/or physical health clinical teams, GP practices and other referral partners who refer clients who are currently in employment but are experiencing difficulties in the workplace and require assistance to help them return to work, remain in work or find new employment. This programme will also support those who have fallen out of work to get the support they need to return to employment. That support will be tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
We need a team of four Work and Health Coaches to provide highly effective support to individuals and guide them on their journey to returning, remaining or finding new employment while also supporting them to improve their health and wellbeing. The Work and Health Coach will also be instrumental in supporting participants to remove health related barriers by sourcing and funding appropriate interventions.
There is a total of four roles, with three full time and one part time, Work and Health Coaches.
Who we are:
Founded in 1992 by a group of mental health professionals, Working Well Trust was established to address the issue of low employment rates for people who have experienced mental health issues. Since starting we have seen advances in the specialist support offered to people seeking employment and a change in cultural attitudes towards mental health.
In the last few years we have adapted this approach to work with people with Autism (ASD), people with learning difficulties, physical disabilities or complex issues including homelessness or addiction.
We focus on four main areas:
Employment Support – offering support that meets the individual’s needs using both the traditional stepped approach and the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model.
Employer support – enabling the recruitment and retention of their employees.
Social Enterprises – we offer training within social enterprises for people who want to gain a new skill, increase their confidence and be part of a team.
Business and Enterprise support – providing one to one advice to clients who wish to start up or expand an enterprise.
Co-production - Working Well remains committed to the principles of the recovery model and continuously improve its services through co-production.

We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support.

If you are an experienced administrator looking for a rewarding new role, Respond has an exciting opportunity for you.
The Clinical Service Administrator supports the administrative and operational functions of the psychotherapy service. The role acts as the first point of contact for clients, families, external stakeholder and members of staff. It may also involve some administrative support for the wider team. Excellent administration abilities, strong IT skills, discretion and a warm, professional manner are essential.
Respond is entering its thirty third year as a charity and has grown from a small London based charity to a medium sized national charity in recent years. Our mission is to reduce the impact of trauma in the lives of people with learning disabilities and autistic people, by developing trusting relationships, through psychotherapeutically informed services.
Further information about Respond
An important part of our work at Respond is working in a trauma-informed way. What this means for us is that we hold in mind the impact of trauma at all levels of the organisation, and all staff take part in reflective practice or team dynamics.
We provide a range of trauma-informed services for children, young people, adults and professionals. These include psychotherapy, advocacy, campaigning, training and other support services. The work we do is generally long term in recognition of research that clients with autism and learning disabilities who have experienced abuse and trauma take longer to process their trauma and to recover.
We are keen to encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates including people with lived experience, who are both interested in working in partnership to provide support, as well as supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people who have experienced trauma.
We are committed to the furthering of human rights, equality, and positive social change through our therapeutic and advocacy work and are committed to anti-racism and other forms of anti-discriminatory practice. We recognise that we need to continually keep this as a focus in our work and as an integral part of our organisational strategy.
We celebrate diversity as an employer and as a provider of services to people who often experience multiple discriminations because of (but not limited to) being autistic or having a learning disability and experiences of trauma.
We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement in the person specification, we encourage you to apply anyway and demonstrate how your experience is transferrable for this role. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles within the organisation.

The Boaz Trust is a Manchester-based charity that started 20 years ago as an outworking of the founder's Christian faith. Last year we provided trauma-informed and person-centred housing and support for more than 200 people facing homelessness after seeking safety in the UK through our floating support and 17 properties that we manage.
This new role is a key part of our strategy to increase our capacity to provide accommodation for more people in the Greater Manchester area working in partnership with GMCA and a range of local and national stakeholders. You will report directly to the CEO and Board and be part of the Senior Leadership Team building on our unique experience of providing both housing-focused and floating support for people who have recently been granted refugee status, as well as those who have been refused asylum and who are facing homelessness.
In the current climate, this work is needed more than ever. We are therefore looking for an experienced and dynamic leader to develop our accommodation services. The ideal candidate will have experience / knowledge of;
- procuring and managing accommodation services (including shared housing)
- social housing standards, regulations and other relevant housing legislation
- project, contract or budgetary management
- managing a team of staff and contractors
- building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, to increase impact and sustainability.
We are looking for someone with ambition and drive to build on our experience and reputation as well as getting involved in the day-to-day delivery of housing management in a small team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to use their experience to make a big difference to the lives of hundreds of people and to shape the future direction and strategy of the organisation.
The successful candidate will need to be supportive of the Christian ethos and values of the charity. However, diversity, equity and inclusion are also important to us at Boaz Trust so we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
