Job description

Waking Night Recovery Worker.

30 hours per week

Salary: £23,810 FTE

You’ve got a good understanding of mental health issues and really enjoy supporting others to achieve independence and lead their own recovery. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Waythrough as a Recovery Worker.

Right now, our Crisis service in Whitehaven is looking for someone like you to work with us, supporting individuals through their recovery journey, providing innovative recovery and crisis service interventions. Day-to-day, you will work with individuals to support the development and delivery of ‘client led’ recovery and safety planning, helping others to regain sustainable control over their challenges and maximise independence. And, when it comes to liaising with statutory and voluntary agencies to give people access to a full range of services, again, we’ll rely on your expertise.

The chances are, you already work in the mental health field. What is for certain is that you’re caring, consistent, flexible and creative, work well under pressure, know how to connect with people at all levels and, like us, are keen to break down the stigma of mental health.

This is a rolling recruitment process. Candidates will be interviewed as and when they are shortlisted.

So, are you ready to take on this rewarding role that comes with some really great benefits?
