Would you like to be part of an organisation that values professionalism, insight, expertise, and passion to inspire individual recovery for the people they support?

About The Role

Mental Health Recovery Workers ensure our residents are at the heart of everything we do. As a Mental Health Recovery Worker, you will be an integral part of our team, providing essential support to individuals accessing our mental health services. Your primary focus will be on delivering person-centred support that empowers those we support to achieve their recovery goals. This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference within a collaborative environment.

Independence and resilience can look and feel very different for each individual. You will support and inspire people to maintain their accommodation and develop independence skills.

You will work directly with service users to co-produce support plans that help them achieve their goals and aspirations. These may include developing domestic and financial management skills, managing their accommodation, or accessing work, leisure, or educational opportunities.

About The Service

We work with people on a one-to-one basis, using a recovery-based model and individual support planning to empower them to develop opportunities, gain skills and experience, and make positive choices.

Our eight self-contained flats help individuals develop the skills needed for more independent living. Our staff support tenants to develop practical and emotional tools to maintain independence.

We assist with practical aspects of tenancy, especially for those transitioning from settings like hospitals, and provide opportunities to build skills and confidence in a community-based setting.

About You

You are passionate about breaking down the stigma of mental health. You will bring strong customer service and communication skills, along with empathy, flexibility, creativity, and enthusiasm for supporting others. You thrive under pressure, can work independently and in a team, and enjoy connecting with people at all levels.

No formal qualifications are required as full training will be provided. If you possess the skills and qualities listed above, we want to hear from you.

Experience or understanding of mental health issues and/or lived experience is welcomed. You must be willing to work independently and as part of a team, be part of a weekly rota, and be available for on-call duties, including evenings, weekends, and nights.

In return, you will receive excellent benefits, training, and development opportunities.
