About this job:

This service has been developed in partnership with Carmarthenshire Supporting People, Carmarthenshire Mental Health Services and Hywel Dda University Health Board, to provide shared accommodation for up to 7 adults who have a serious mental illness and who need a medium level of support to help with their recovery.  The service will be staffed 7 days a week, with on-site sleep-in cover, and will be offered to clients on a short to medium term basis according to need.  The aim of the staff team, therefore, will be to encourage and enable clients to reach a greater level of independence over a reasonable period of time, and then to facilitate their move on to more independent living in the community.
