Mindful Employer

As an employer we recognise that in the UK, people experiencing mental ill health continue to report stigma and discrimination at work. Having signed the ‘Charter for Employers Positive about Mental Health’, we are committed to creating a supportive and open culture, where colleagues feel able to talk about mental health confidently, and aspire to appropriately support the mental wellbeing of all staff.


As an employer, we have made an on-going commitment to: 

As an employer, we have made an on-going commitment to:

  • Provide non-judgemental and proactive support to staff experiencing mental ill health.
  • Not make assumptions about a person with a mental health condition and their ability to work.
  • Be positive and enabling towards all employees and job applicants with a mental health condition.
  • Support line managers in managing mental health in the workplace.
  • Ensure we are fair in the recruitment of new staff in accordance with the Equality Act (2010).
  • Make it clear that people who have experienced mental ill health will not be discriminated against, and that disclosure of a mental health problem will enable both the employee and employer to assess and provide the right level of support or adjustment.

What our team say about us

AdobeStock_801845040-1
Services should, at their core, be fully mindful of the wishes and aspirations of the service user and as a default position, should be making sure the service user and carers has a voice and being heard is a basic human right. What happens is this voice is often denied or ignored. As an advocate, I want to work with my advocacy partner to support them and find that voice which is inside them.

I have been working with Asist over a number of years and remain impressed with their commitment to staff education and the support they give to social workers in training. Too many times social work and advocacy are seen as opposites and therefore in opposition. Asist’s provision of student placements ensures when qualified those professionals understand the value of advocacy and work alongside advocates as two sides of the same coin.

We work alongside people, supporting them to have their voices heard and be part of any decisions made about their care and support. Our services are free and confidential.
