Touchstone is a multi-award-winning mental health and wellbeing charity operating in communities across Yorkshire. Touchstone understands that we can only deliver excellence to the people we serve if the people we recruit are happy, empowered, supported to reach their potential and trusted to lead.

The Community Rehabilitation Enhanced Support Team (CREST) is a unique community mental health service providing intensive and flexible wrap around support for individuals across West Yorkshire (Leeds, Kirklees, Calderdale, Wakefield, & Bradford).

Many service users have experienced long lengths of stay in locked hospital placements and are disconnected from their community. We work with service users and their family and carers prior to discharge, supporting them into step down provision and beyond.

The successful candidate will assist the CREST Peer Support and Recovery Co-Ordinator to provide effective team leadership and management of the service and deputise for the CREST Peer Support and Recovery Co-ordinator in their absence.

Information Session: Monday 11 November, 12pm – 1pm via MS Teams
