Job description

About the role: Porchlight is Kent’s largest charity supporting vulnerable people. We are here for people who often have nowhere to go and no-one to turn to. The Mental Health Link Service is Porchlight’s gateway to Live Well Kent & Medway, which provides support to people whose mental health is affected by social issues such as low income, housing risk and social isolation.

We work with people aged 17+ living with mental health issues, and others who are socially excluded and struggling to cope, needing our support to keep them on track. Experienced and knowledgeable staff develop plans with individuals, supporting them to achieve their goals and accessing the support they need, when they need it, working with and using local services.

The role requires:

  • Excellent communication and people skills.
  • Ability to initiate and maintain constructive relations with service users.
  • Ability to develop effective working relationships with colleagues and external agencies.
  • Good literacy, numeracy, and IT skills.
  • Driver with own transport.

Porchlight is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk.

Working pattern: 9am to 5pm Tuesday to Thursday with some flexibility required.

Location type: On-site.

Contract type: Permanent

Interview date: 27th May 2026

Please note, salaries are pro-rata for part-time positions.

Our application form and interview process have been designed to assess your transferable skills rather than direct experience. This helps remove barriers for people who may have the right values, abilities, and potential but may not have formal experience in the role they’re applying for. We actively encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. Please have a look at the application guidance and job description at the bottom of the page to give you the best chance of being shortlisted.
