Please note, we are not accepting any further expressions of interest as this position has now closed.
As part of the Museum’s continued commitment to the Health & Wellbeing of our colleagues, we are keen to increase our representation of Mental Health First Aiders to ensure all colleagues have an accessible Mental Health First Aider that they feel comfortable talking to.
Our current team of Mental Health First Aiders are largely office based colleagues who identify as female, therefore interest from colleagues who are in roles based on site and/or identify as a gender other than female are particularly welcome.
As a Mental Health First Aider, you will be the first port of call if a colleague appears to be in distress or is experiencing a crisis. You will be required to act compassionately and in confidence, as well as signpost to appropriate guidance or organisations that may help colleagues to address their concerns.
This is not an easy role; it can and will be very challenging. It requires individuals to be resilient, robust and most of all have the skills to listen and support colleagues, for this reason all applicants will be subject to a selection process.
If you are interested in becoming a Mental Health First Aider please send your expression of interest to [email protected] with a brief explanation as to why you wish to take on this role. The closing date for expressions of interest is Wednesday 8th November.
Please note that this opportunity is available to contracted staff only (who have successfully completed their probationary period) and the training will be online. You will need to be available for all of the sessions which will take place on: Wednesday 24 January 2024, Thursday 25 January 2024, Wednesday 31 January 2024 and Thursday 1 February 2024 from 9:30am – 1:30pm.
Thank you.
