Job summary

Thank you for your interest in our organisations and this exciting new role. Were currently looking for a compassionate and motivated Mental Health Pathway Navigator to join our innovative team, supporting people across Middlesbrough to access the right support at the right time.

Were looking for someone who is driven to make a real difference within the local community through high-quality, person-centred support, with collaboration and improving mental health and wellbeing at the heart of everything.

The purpose of this role is to help people, particularly those experiencing moderate to severe mental health challenges, access timely and appropriate support so that they can remain well within their communities.

Please note: one employee will be employed by Arch, and one employee will be employed by Teesside Mind.

Main duties of the job

You will work as part of a small team to ensure individuals receive the care they need, precisely when & where it is required, while also addressing inequalities in both health care & the wider social factors that impact mental wellbeing, including trauma, abuse & disadvantage.

You will encourage individuals to recognise & build upon their strengths, guiding them in navigating community resources, health services, housing, welfare, & social care pathways. You will support them to articulate their needs & secure their rights.

Achieving positive outcomes will require strong partnership working with organisations such as TEWV, Adult Social Care, & the voluntary and community sector, including those supporting survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, asylum seekers & refugees, & individuals experiencing a diverse range of mental health needs.

Where necessary, you will advocate on behalf of individuals to ensure they can access support. You will also work with people & service providers to clarify referral pathways, helping to prevent repeated assessments or unnecessary transfers between services. Your work will focus on supporting people in their recovery journeys. Recovery looks different for everyone, but at its core, it is about helping someone to lead a hopeful & fulfilling life, regardless of their experiences.

Insights gained from this role will help to broaden the range of services available to the community and improve coordination between different service providers.

About us

This new service brings together Arch Teesside, Open Door North East and Teesside Mind, working alongside NHS teams, GP practices and voluntary and community organisations to create a connected approach to mental health support.

We are proud to be part of this innovative service, helping people navigate pathways, access the right support, and feel genuinely supported. Our teams are compassionate, curious and determined, and we work together to make a positive impact within our communities.

Teesside Mind welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds and is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. As Teesside Mind does not hold a sponsor licence, applicants must have the right to live and work in the UK and be able to do so without employer sponsorship.
