About the Role
Step up to a senior leadership role within Hackney's Integrated Mental Health Service (IMHS), a Section 75 partnership with East London Foundation Trust (ELFT). As a Mental Health Senior Support Worker, you will lead and supervise a team of mental health support workers, championing prevention, reablement, and recovery-focused approaches.

Collaboration with social workers, health colleagues, and wider partners is key to delivering a joined-up response.

Join a vibrant, progressive authority committed to equity, anti-racism, and inclusion across gender, neurodiversity, and social divides. This is a key leadership opportunity to shape meaningful change for Hackney residents.
