Recovery Worker

Location: Cumbria

Salary: A£24,570 pro rata per annum

Hours: Permanent, 30 hours per week

We are seeking a caring, flexible, and creative Recovery Worker to join Waythrough's Cumbria Safe Haven Service. The ideal candidate thrives under pressure, can connect with people at all levels, and is passionate about helping others achieve independence.

The Cumbria Safe Haven is a mental health service based in West Cumbria, providing support to individuals aged 18 and over through one-to-one appointments and group drop-in sessions. The support focuses on interventions, mental health management, wellbeing, and signposting to relevant services.

Relevant experience and knowledge of mental health are preferred, but a caring, compassionate nature, empathy, and enthusiasm are equally important. Candidates should be able to work independently and as part of a team.

The role requires a valid driver's license and the flexibility to work day shifts, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays.

If interested, please apply via the following link: Application Link.

We value diversity and encourage applications from those with lived experience and from Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic groups.

This is a rolling recruitment process; shortlisted candidates will be interviewed upon application.

We offer a wide range of apprenticeships to support learning and development. Applicants in permanent roles who have passed probation are welcome to apply for relevant apprenticeships.

Waythrough was launched in October 2024 after the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Aquarius, a subsidiary, supports individuals affected by substance use or gambling in the Midlands. We are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based services tailored to the needs of those we support, with a vision to break down barriers to support.
