Work with us!
Recovery & Support Coordinator
We're looking for a motivated self-starter to lead our work supporting the positive recovery journeys of young people who face mental health and wellbeing challenges in Dundee. In this role you will explore how methods such as art, music and other creative outlets can promote better outcomes for our young people. This is a part-time role (0.5 FTE) and fixed term for six-months.
We would particularly welcome applications from candidates who are young people with lived experience of mental health and wellbeing challenges.
The Details
Feeling Strong is an exciting new Dundee-based charity with the ambition to improve the lives of young people living with mental health and wellbeing challenges by fostering the skills, confidence and aspirations they need to flourish. Our services are designed by young people, delivered by young people for the benefit of young people, and we believe that this youth-led/peer-led approach is our biggest asset in tackling issues around mental health and wellbeing. We promote stable recovery journeys for young people, and tackle the disparity they face in unemployment, underemployment and accessing opportunities like further and higher education.
Your ROLE
We're looking for a member of staff to support young people with mental health and wellbeing challenges in finding creative ways to express themselves and using green and blue spaces/outdoor activities to improve wellbeing. Also, as a member of the Operations Team, you may be asked to help with the organisation of the charities' other activities. The Operations Team meet 12 times a year, for hour long meetings, rotating between the days of the week.
Work-related travel costs will be reimbursed.
