Hours: Permanent, 37.5 hours per week

We are specialists in mental health, alcohol, drugs, and related areas. We provide high-quality, evidence-based services designed around the needs of the people we support. Our vision is to break down barriers that prevent people from accessing the support they need to live a life they value.

You're caring, flexible, and creative, thrive under pressure, and know how to connect with people at all levels. You enjoy helping others to live as independently as possible. You'd like to be part of an organization that relies on the professionalism, insight, expertise, and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery. Welcome to Leecroft House as a Recovery Worker.

Our 24-hour supported housing service in Barnet is seeking someone like you to support individuals in maintaining their tenancy and independence. We prioritize putting service users at the heart of everything we do and involve them in decisions affecting their future. Your role will involve inspiring and supporting them to lead their own recovery, developing personal support plans, enhancing domestic and finance management skills, and facilitating access to work, leisure, or educational opportunities. Accurate case note entry and liaising with external agencies such as GP surgeries, the local council, and charities are also key responsibilities.

Recovery looks different for everyone, but with the right support, recovery is achievable. You will work with individuals to help them achieve their goals and aspirations. No relevant experience is required as full training will be provided; however, understanding of mental health issues or lived experience is welcomed. Your caring and compassionate nature, empathy, and enthusiasm are most important. You should be comfortable working independently and as part of a team, willing to participate in a weekly rota system, and available for on-call duties.

In return, we offer excellent benefits, training, and development opportunities.

We are committed to increasing diversity and welcome applications from individuals with lived experience and from Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic groups. This is a rolling recruitment process, and candidates will be interviewed as shortlisted. Please upload a CV and supporting statement outlining your skills and experience.

We also offer apprenticeships relevant to the role, open to anyone in a permanent position who has passed probation.
