Creative Wellbeing Activities within a mental health setting supporting adults age 16+Detailed description
We are looking for someone with creative ability who enjoys working with people from all backgrounds to help the adults who attend the service to engage in their chosen activity.
Our clients are at the heart of everything we do so as part of our Creative Wellbeing focus, we provide activities under the categories of Arts and Craft, Music, Performance/Drama and Creative Writing. These are provided in a supported environment to help improve confidence and self-esteem, working with each individual towards recovery and improving overall well-being. Our Creative Wellbeing activity area is a very social space, and you will build trusting relationships with clients, making them feel involved and engaged. As part of the team, you will assist in preparing activities and inspire clients to get involved. You will also help the activity engagement workers maintain the workspace and materials used.
The role would require you to be a good listener with a pleasant personality and a good sense of humour. You will be non-judgemental, be able to provide support and encouragement and work well as part of a team with our Creative Wellbeing workers
