We are The Forward Trust (formerly RAPt and Blue Sky), and for more than 25 years we have been working with people involved with crime and addiction to build positive and productive lives.

Forward Trust now have over 70 projects with over 20,000 clients supported per year by staff and volunteers. We are proud that around 30% of our workforce have lived experience themselves and many of them have worked with us in the past. We believe that ANYONE is capable of change; do you?

As a Mental Wellbeing Practitioner, you will work with adults on an individual face to face basis, or through therapeutic groups. You will be equal opportunities focussed as the role works with people with a variety of differences including cultural backgrounds, age, and sexuality.

As Mental Wellbeing Practitioner you’ll be required to manage a caseload, provide advice and guidance, assess, care plan and refer where applicable. You may be asked to attend meetings with our multi-agency partners, to represent Forward Trust and report back on service updates.

You will be responsible for contributing to the targets set by Forward Trust and the local commissioners. One of the key targets will be measuring outcomes, so co-operative working relationships with other partner agencies is vital to this role.
