What’s working at South Powys Mind like? 

Here’s some quotes from the team.

At South Powys Mind I can work autonomously in a supportive environment for a service that benefits the community and allows me to develop my skills and help make a difference in peoples lives. 

At South Powys Mind I feel appreciated and listened to everyday. It’s inspiring to work within an organisation that recognises the importance of wellbeing not just for the community, but for its staff too.

Working for South Powys Mind has been such an enriching and expansive experience! From my first to last day, the team have been so supportive, welcoming and encouraging. I have developed my existing skills as well as obtaining new ones through the training and opportunities that I have received. The support from my manager and team through our regular checks ins has provided me with ample opportunity to progress in my practice and reflect on how I can improve professionally. BDM really value their staff and volunteers, and this is exemplified through their encouragement of strong work life balance and reassurance to take breaks when needed. I would strongly encourage anyone interested in working for BDM to pursue any opportunities, they are a brilliant organisation to work for and I will be forever grateful.
