OTR is looking for an exceptionally talented Engagement Worker to be responsible for creatively communicating our message and mobilising young people/stakeholders in a culture shift of our understanding of mental health. The Engagement Worker will be part of an exciting team who aim to create a first point of access into mental health care that is timely, appropriate and accessible to all.
As an Engagement Worker you will be responsible for delivering OTR Hubs (across Bristol and South Glos) – these are exciting and developing spaces where young people, professionals and carers can come and find out what we do. You will also be the first point of contact for young people looking to navigate Mental Health Support in Bristol and South Glos, and you will be key in building partnerships with organisations to ensure OTR reaches young people who normally wouldn’t access mental health support.
You’ll be joining a team who are passionate about creating opportunities with a wide range of young people, discussing mental health out in the community, and empowering young people to make the right decision at the right time.

Our approach to mental health is grounded in a set of beliefs and assumptions that underpins all of our work. We believe in celebrating diversity, empowering and mobilising young people to make change, and that catering to the unique strengths, interests and circumstances surrounding young people is key. Our approach centres on collaboration and partnership, building relationships between individuals, peers and communities.
Each day is as engaging and fulfilling as the last, and with a network of supportive, community minded people, we hope you’ll feel welcome here. As a thank you, we like to compensate our employees for the important work they do with a range of benefits including a flexible leave policy (38 days), healthcare cost assistance with HealthShield, flexible and hybrid working arrangements, enhanced sick pay, parental leave, continual training and development, free yoga and reiki, and more (subject to contractual terms and conditions).
At OTR, whatever your role or professional background, you will be expected to work in a way that is anti-oppressive and inclusive. A key focus for OTR is to develop an organisation that is inclusive for all but we do not claim to be experts in this. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement in these areas and invite you to join us on this journey.
OTR recognises the benefits to individual practice and organisational credibility of having a diverse community of staff and volunteers and to this end is continually working towards building and maintaining an environment which values and pursues diversity accordingly.
We recognise that tackling systemic inequality, prejudice, racism and oppressive practice requires each of us to actively engage, self-examine and make changes where necessary, in order to improve access and equitable experience for all in society and all of those who come through our doors at OTR.
