Job summary

This role is part of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Partnership across Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW), which includes Second Step, Alabar, Missing Link and Nilaari. Together, we deliver community-based, trauma-informed support that places people at the heart of mental health and wellbeing services.

Main duties of the job

The Senior Physical Health Check Coordinator supports individuals with severe mental illness, such as psychosis, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia - to access annual NHS health checks and make positive lifestyle changes based on the results.
