Could you be our next Safe Haven Team Leader?

Our Safe Haven service supports those in mental health crisis in Basingstoke and mid Hampshire. The service is covered 7 evenings a week from 5.30pm to 10.30pm, 365 days a year (including bank holidays) on a rolling 4 week rota, and is based at our Wellbeing facility in Basingstoke.

The role of Team Leader is therefore crucial, by leading our teams of Practitioners who will deliver our important Safe Haven service.

You should be self motivated, be able to demonstrate experience of working with, and an understanding of, those experiencing a mental health crisis whilst remaining calm and professional in any stressful or challenging situation.

So, if you have a history of crisis work within the mental health sector, have an understanding of the implications of individuals experiencing a crisis, and knowledge of creating achievable goals we would love to hear from you.

Temporary pause to referrals – Andover Autism and ADHD Community Hub

To ensure we can continue providing a safe, high-quality service, referrals into the Andover Autism and ADHD Community Hub are being temporarily paused while we strengthen the team.

This is a temporary measure to help us maintain the quality of support for people already accessing the service, while we increase capacity.

While referrals are temporarily paused, individuals may wish to access other sources of information and support where appropriate, more information can be found at: autismhampshire.org.uk/how-we-can-help/adults

Our priority is to ensure everyone who accesses the service receives the support they need. Thank you for your patience and understanding while referrals are temporarily paused. We look forward to welcoming new referrals again as soon as possible.
