Meet The Team
-
I worked my first shift at BHT Sussex in 2004, as an agency worker in one of our mental health projects. I liked the work and the people, so left the employment agency and applied for a mental health support worker role, which I did for 11 years. In 2016 I moved on to another BHT Sussex mental health project as deputy manager, then carried on there as operational manager for a further 5 years. In my experience, BHT Sussex managers encourage and support people to try new things, stretch outside of what feels comfortable and listen to ideas for improvements to our services, this makes people feel valued and included and is why a lot of people choose to stay!

It’s the friendliest place I’ve ever worked. My values align with those of the organisation. I trust BHT Sussex to do right by people. I’ve been really lucky with the opportunities that have arisen since working for BHT Sussex. I started on a fixed term contract with Shore House as the Deputy Manager, stepped-up into the Operational Manager post, secured a permanent contract as Archway’s Operational Manager, and am now the Senior Manager of MH Services in Brighton. I’ve been supported throughout with supervision, training, mentoring, and advice; it’s a great place for anyone wanting to develop themselves and their career.
