Who are we looking for?

About the role 

Mental health social work is a highly varied role that offers a wide range of opportunities to support the lives of people with mental health needs. 

Using a social approach, you will help them address a diverse range of factors including relationships, housing, and employment, that are often overlooked in treatment of mental illness. 

This might include standing up for someone’s legal rights in the workplace; reconnecting them with friends, family and their local community; or working with local authorities to make sure they are living in accommodation that is suitable for their needs.

This is an exciting time for Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Wildlife needs us now, more than ever. And changes are afoot that will help us do more for wildlife right across the landscape. Wildlife needs bigger, better and more connected places to live. And policies are beginning to change in our favour. There are new funding streams in biodiversity, carbon, nutrients and water. And there are new sources of income from businesses. This, coupled with a growing public understanding of the value of nature means that there are many new opportunities for nature’s recovery in Norfolk.

We are values-led and work with integrity: how we do things is just as important as what we do.

We know that we can secure a thriving world for future generations that offers a stable climate, clean water, abundant food, health and happiness.

Will you join us?
