Do you want to work in a role where you can support people on their journey to recovery?
St Mungo’s Assertive Contact and Engagement (ACE) Service works with people with mental health needs who face barriers to support, and are not actively engaged with other mental health services. We operate across Bristol, running a variety of services including therapeutic groups and drop-ins as well as community outreach.

The Engagement Worker will make sure than clients are able to make the most of the opportunity and are linked in with other services.
