Job description

Everyone’s Turning Point is unique. It’s the moment when they realise they’ve made a small, but important, step forward. Very often, that small step is the start of something bigger. But only when the right support, advice and services are in place. That’s where you come in.

Alfred Minto House is a well-established specialist residential service that works with ten men with mental health difficulties and forensic histories. We aim to support individuals to continue their journey of recovery in a community setting.

Role Responsibility

Raising the bar for person–centred care, you’ll provide a range of recovery-focused support through key working sessions and group work. People’s lives will be truly changed by you as you enable and prepare them to gain new skills and help them find ways to promote their long-term recovery.

As a Recovery Worker, you’ll work with individuals on their recovery, devising individually tailored support and risk management plans and ensuring effective discharge planning. Ultimately, you’ll play a vital role in helping them to gain skills and coping strategies, all while encouraging positive change and independence.

You will be required to work 37 hours per week, in a shift pattern including sleep-ins and weekends. You have one weekend on and one weekend off; rotas are completed at least two months in advance, and there is always room for flexibility, providing the needs of the service are met.

The Ideal Candidate

Preferably with experience in the mental health sector, it’s essential that you have a good understanding of the recovery model, together with a solution–focused attitude and a person–centred approach.

You’ll be equally comfortable taking initiative and working as part of a team, and able to adapt quickly to a fast-paced environment and challenging situations. Of course, you’ll be someone who enjoys talking to people with different needs, is genuinely interested in helping them, and possesses a deep level of empathy, understanding, and patience.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

We understand that rewards look different for everyone. Whether it’s ways to make your money go further, a culture that supports recognition and celebration, or opportunities to advance your career – we aim to support you in every way with our comprehensive reward package.

You will receive 31 days’ paid holiday per year, increasing with each year of service up to 33 days. There is also an option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
