Outreach Mental Health Support Worker
Job Introduction
Are you looking to make a difference to people's lives? Do you want to work in a role where no two days are the same? Are you flexible with your working hours? Can you see yourself providing care to adults who need your support in their own homes?
If you have answered a big YES to these questions we would love to hear from you.
At Turning Point, we support people with Mental Health issues across England. We believe that everyone deserves to live with dignity, independence, and a sense of belonging. Our work is rooted in compassion, respect, and empowerment—supporting individuals in our community to live healthier, happier lives. Whether it’s helping someone manage a long-term health need, connecting them to local resources, or simply being a friendly face, we’re here to make a real difference every day.
As an Outreach Support Worker, you’ll be the bridge between people and the services they need, working alongside individuals with mental health support needs, often complex and enduring. You’ll work directly with individuals and families in their own homes, helping them navigate health and social care systems, access vital resources, and build the confidence to live more independently. Your support will have a lasting impact—improving wellbeing, reducing isolation, and fostering stronger, healthier communities.
The role is a full-time 37 hour a week contract and involves working 9-5.30 five days a week across a 7-day period (including weekends and bank holidays). However, we are happy to discuss flexible working, promoting work/life balance. The outreach service covers the Manchester Area with the expectation candidates would be willing to travel to support people in their own homes.
