What you’ll be doing:

We're looking for an organised, enthusiastic and community-focused individual to help shape and support a new neighbourhood approach to mental health and wellbeing across Brighton and Hove and East Sussex. You'll play a key role in coordinating projects, community activities and partnerships that help people access support closer to where they live.

Working alongside our Neighbourhood Leads, you'll support the successful implementation of the neighbourhood model by coordinating projects, monitoring progress and helping to turn ideas into practical action.
