Mind in Brighton and Hove empowers and supports people who have experience of mental health issues in Brighton & Hove, and across Sussex.

We are seeking to recruit additional Employment Advisors to join our expanding team and provide advice and information, skills-based interventions, and employment support to people experiencing mental health issues who wish to remain in, return to and/or find work. The role will be varied and involve managing a busy caseload and include liaison work with employers and other external partners, so experience and a commitment to partnership working is required.
