If you're looking for a rewarding career and to work within an inspirational team that really does make a difference, this is an exciting opportunity to join the DBI National service and the delivery of the DBI approach, which has widely been recognised as innovative and pioneering across Scotland.

DBI is a two-tiered response; a Level 1 response from frontline partnership agencies and Level 2 supportive interventions delivered by Penumbra. A Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will respond to a referral made on behalf of a person experiencing distress within 24 hours, with the provision of time limited support. The Practitioner will then deliver problem solving support, wellness and distress management planning, supported connections and signposting for a period of up to 14 days.

As a mental health charity, we really value the wellbeing of our staff. That's why we want you to know that you'll be joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.

We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you'll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.

Please note that unfortunately we cannot offer visa sponsorship. We can only accept applications from applicants who currently have the legal right to work in the UK, or applicants who have already have an application in progress to obtain the legal right to work in the UK.

Penumbra is committed to supporting candidates with disabilities, neurodiverse candidates, and candidates with mental health conditions throughout the recruitment process. We will make any reasonable adjustments required to ensure a fair and inclusive process for all.
