Change Mental Health is looking for a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner (Outreach) to join our Fife Services team. You will play a key role in delivering support as part of an innovative partnership between Change Mental Health and Kingdom Housing Association (KHA).

This is a community-based role supporting adults affected by mental illness to build confidence, resilience and greater independence.

About the role
You will work closely with KHA staff as part of a collaborative, partnership-based approach, embedding mental health support within housing services. This includes responding to referrals, supporting early intervention and crisis prevention, and contributing to improved outcomes for tenants.

You will be part of a forward-thinking, collaborative team committed to innovation in mental health and housing support. Working autonomously, you will manage your own caseload, using sound judgment to determine when to escalate or refer to your manager. You will also contribute to identifying service gaps and co-developing solutions to meet the evolving needs of tenants and the wider community.
