Health and Safety Mental Health Officer Review

In my routine I would begin with updating a daily riddle outside of my cabin which encouraged conversations amongst the different teams working here. In addition I would have daily challenges, such as a darts challenge in which individuals had the chance to win free lunch tokens for the highest score. During my day, I would also visit the individual's working, wearing my correct PPE, I was allowed to go into appropriate work stations and speak to individuals also.

With this placement I was able to grow my confidence in speaking to people daily and being a source of support for all who needed it. It has allowed me to consider mental health awareness and the importance of a roles like in other industries. It has been an incredible experience, allowing me to learn new skills and expanding existing ones too. Communication, time-management, leadership and innovating new ideas are some examples of this.

I was given the role to create a space for the individuals on site. It was completely flexiable and allowed me to be creative also. I set up the cabin with inspirational quotes, mindfulness and breathing techniques as well as creating a wellbeing plan. The wellbeing plan allowed individuals to fill and a document which consisted of a range of questions such as what wellbeing looked like for individuals and were there any issues that could be tackled.

The team I was working were very supportive and very friendly too. Here there is a sense of community and I really enjoyed that aspect as it felt like everyone was treated fairly, no matter the role.

It was a warm environment, if i personally ever felt overwhelmed I was able to discuss this with my team and they made me feel comfortable working in a busy environment.

I enjoyed it from the very beginning till the near end. The whole experience has been so rewarding and it has allowed me to consider this role further. I am very grateful to have found this role as I feel it has been very rewarding not only personally but also to all who have used the service. Daily interactions were always positive and it made my time here successful.

Yes

Be open minded, and to not be afraid to try and new avenue. This role has been more rewarding for my personal development and I would encourage all who apply to not overthink this position as it is entirely flexible and allows you to be completely innovative
