Job description

Recovery Worker (Whitehaven, Cumbria)

Location: Queen Street, Whitehaven, Cumbria

Salary: £23,810 pro rata per annum

Job Type: Permanent, 30 hours per week

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

Queen Street is a mental health, supported housing and community-based service in Whitehaven, working to a recovery model. We provide a range of support services for people with mental ill health to access in their local community, including outreach support, peer support and supported housing. We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a staffed service to our residents aged 18 and upwards.

We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone. That's where you come in. Responsible for helping and inspiring the people who use our services to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community, we'll rely on you to work with them to come up with a personal support plan that will see them achieve their goals and aspirations. Whether it's developing their domestic and finance management skills or accessing work, leisure, or educational opportunities, one thing's for sure ‐ you will have every chance to shine.

No relevant experience is required as full training will be provided, although candidates with an understanding of mental health issues and/or lived experience would be welcomed. More important is your caring and compassionate nature and empathy and enthusiasm for helping others. Whatever your background, you'll need to be happy to work both independently and within a team and willing to be part of a weekly rota system and available for on call duties. Due to the nature of the role a driving licence and access to a car is essential.
