Think Ahead

Who we are

At Think Ahead, we believe everyone living with mental health needs should be empowered to live the life they want and deserve. 

To achieve this we need a thriving mental health workforce. Our organisation recruits, trains and promotes the mental health workforce, ensuring the right professionals can deliver the right support at the right time.

On our two-year, fully funded programme, trains up to 160 mental health social workers every year. Combining academic learning with on-the-job experience, our trainees make a difference right from the very start of their time with us.

We believe diversity in the workforce is invaluable. We strongly encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds who can bring different perspectives to the role including: people from black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities, people with disabilities, people who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community, and men who remain under-represented in the workforce.
