Mental Health First Aider.
The first conversation matters.
A mental health first aider is trained for the first conversation: noticing a colleague who is struggling, listening without trying to fix, and signposting to real help. Employers now roster the role alongside physical first aid, and the training gives you skills that work far beyond the workplace.
What you actually do
First aid renews every three years, fire safety duties sit on every responsible person, and every workplace needs both.
What it pays, what’s out there
Pay varies by site, city and shift; adverts show the live range.
Take-home depends on the rate your employer offers; ask the adviser to model it.
