Favour Tobun

Highly motivated and compassionate Mental Health Support Worker with a year's experience providing emotional and social support to individuals facing mental health challenges. Proven ability to build rapport, de-escalate crises, and develop individualised support plans. Skilled in active listening, communication, and fostering a safe and supportive environment.

I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to a positive and empowering experience for clients at NHS. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey towards mental well-being. My experience working with people facing mental health challenges has instilled in me a deep understanding of the importance of empathy, compassion, and individualized care.

I am skilled at building rapport and creating a safe space for clients to express themselves openly. I am also a strong advocate for empowerment and believe in working collaboratively with clients to develop goals and strategies for managing their mental health. While at Cygnet Hospital I was nominated Employee Star of the Week twice, this was due to my relationship with patients, staff and management.

This experience has further solidified my desire to contribute to a supportive and recovery-oriented environment for clients at NHS. I am confident that my skills and experience align perfectly with the requirements of this position, and I am eager to learn and grow alongside your dedicated team.
