As a result of a new investment from the The National Lottery Communities Fund, we are launching a new programme called Elevator and we are recruiting for a group worker.

Elevator is designed to prepare people with a mild to moderate mental health problem to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in their community. The prime purpose of the programme is to engage participants with all elements of their community; to identify activities within the local community, which they would wish to try, and to support them to access those activities.

Applications are invited from individuals who are experienced in working with mental health client groups, are experienced group workers and who are passionate about person-centred approaches.

Drumchapel L.I.F.E. is committed to equality of access at every level within the organisation. We welcome applications from all sections of the community. We guarantee an interview to disabled candidates who meet the essential criteria.
