Job description

Overview

The Recovery Coach Team (RCT) is a time-limited service available to individuals aged 17 and over. The team provides a supportive step-down pathway for patients transitioning from secondary care services back into the community. Using a combination of coaching techniques delivered by Recovery Coaches and lived experience offered by Peer Support Workers, the service delivers a mix of one-to-one and group sessions designed to help patients reconnect with and engage in their communities.

As the RCT is set for an exciting relaunch, we are seeking a motivated and passionate clinician with a strong commitment to recovery-focused practice to coordinate, support, and drive this team forward. This can be a hybrid role however some in person attendance is essential. It is highly recommended to contact Emma Taylor for an informal discussion prior to applying. This post will be pivotal in the relaunching of this service which has previously been closed whilst a refocus and direction has been co-created. This post will work in close conjunction with the Trust Wide Recovery and Inclusion Lead to provide daily line management and support of the Recovery Coach Team members whilst creating sustainable and embedded pathways within other services.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health and social care organisation dedicated to providing high-quality care with compassion to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting and empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.

These services include children’s, adult and older people’s mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research and development.

To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high-calibre candidates who share our vision and values.
