Job Description:

Whitehaven, Cumbria

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 organization that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise, and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with. Welcome to Richmond Fellowship as a Recovery Worker.

Roper Street is a mental health supported housing service 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 residents aged 18 and upwards.

We know that recovery can look and feel very different for each individual. But we also know that with the right support at the right time, recovery is possible for everyone. That’s where you come in. Responsible for helping and inspiring service users to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community, you will work with them to develop personal support plans to achieve their goals and aspirations. Whether developing domestic and finance management skills or accessing work, leisure, or educational opportunities, you will have the chance to make a real difference.

No relevant experience is required as full training will be provided, although understanding of mental health issues and/or lived experience would be welcomed. More important is your caring and compassionate nature, empathy, and enthusiasm for helping others. You should be comfortable working both independently and within a team, willing to participate in a weekly rota system, and available for on-call duties.

This role offers excellent benefits, training, and development opportunities.

This is a permanent part-time position requiring 22.5 hours per week.
