You’ll be used to using social media in a professional context and be familiar with content management systems. It goes without saying that you’re organised, can work independently and as part of a team and have the confidence to present and promote Aquarius to stakeholders at all levels.

For those who get through to interview, you’ll notice something different about those you meet during the process – we are a values driven organisation and we look to live it in all our interactions – so expect people to be attentive, kind and very passionate about empowering those who could do with a bit of support to thrive.

This is what it’s all about for us. If this sounds like you and you have the background and skills to succeed in this role with a supportive and positive employer, what are you waiting for? We want to hear from you.

This is a permanent full-time role requiring the post holder to work 37 hours per week.

Aquarius was a subsidiary of Richmond Fellowship, with both organisations being part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence. On 1st June 2024 Richmond Fellowship merged with Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we’ve all known has been needed for decades. At the same time, Aquarius became a subsidiary of Humankind, with no impact to terms and conditions of employment. In October 2024, Humankind will be renamed to reflect the new organisation, of which Aquarius will remain a subsidiary.
