Doncaster Mind is a successful local and independent mental health charity based in the centre of Doncaster. We provide a range of services to support people’s mental health recovery and wellbeing, including counselling, mentoring, peer support groups, personal development courses, training, volunteer development, information and guidance.

We are a small team and our organisation is going through a period of significant growth and development. As part of our continuing growth, we are excited to be recruiting two brand new Wellbeing Navigators to join the Doncaster Mind Wellbeing Team.
