About the Service 

As a Resilience Outreach Worker, 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 service is designed to provide targeted mental health and wellbeing support to KHA tenants, helping individuals to build emotional, psychological and behavioural resilience.
