We are a multi-award winning mental health and wellbeing charity operating in communities across Yorkshire.
Touchstone understands that we can only deliver excellence to the people we serve if the people we recruit are happy, empowered, supported to reach their potential and trusted to lead.
Please note we are unable to provide sponsorship for these roles.
Overview of Service
Our Crisis Cafes and Safe Spaces provide support to individuals who are struggling to cope in an evening (6pm-Midnight) and feel they need support. We operate 7 nights a week, 365 days a year across Yorkshire in Kirklees, Leeds, Rotherham and Wakefield.
The aim of our service is to reduce A&E admissions and emergency service intervention for people experiencing mental health distress, by providing a safe alternative space. We deliver 1-to-1 support to de-escalate crisis and listen to individuals immediate concerns, as well as providing social activities based on distraction and coping techniques to empower self-management and prevent future crisis.
We are not a clinical service and do not provide medical advice, therapy, or counselling. Our teams are made up of individuals from a variety of backgrounds with lived experience of mental health crisis.
To support our demanding service we are looking for experienced bank Support Staff and Team Leaders who are passionate about increasing access to Crisis Care for all and are able to work flexibly in the evenings where our core team need additional capacity to operate.
