Job Introduction
This exciting new development within Nottingham County welcomes enthusiastic applicants to apply for this rare opportunity to be involved in shaping a brand new service that will support individuals with complex mental health needs.
Wood Street is a supported living service providing accommodation and support to people who may have dual diagnoses, a history of drug and/or alcohol use, and/or forensic histories.
Passionate about people, you’ll enjoy the scope of supporting individuals to gain skills for independent living. With an emphasis on key working, you’ll need to work flexibly to manage your own small caseload and assist with the day-to-day running of the service.
At Turning Point, we support people across the UK with mental health issues. As a Recovery Worker, you’ll make a real difference by working closely with people to help them achieve their potential. You will be part of a wider supportive team within the region, with opportunities for growth in the future.
Role Responsibilities
Raising the bar for person-centred care, you’ll provide recovery-focused interventions through key working sessions and group work. Your support can truly change lives by enabling and preparing people to gain new skills and find ways to promote long-term recovery. As a Recovery Worker, you’ll work with individuals on their recovery journey, devising tailored support and risk management plans, and ensuring effective discharge planning. Ultimately, you’ll play a vital role in helping people develop skills and coping strategies, encouraging positive change and independence.
The role requires working on a 24-hour rolling rota, including day, evening, and waking night shifts, with alternate weekends.
The Ideal Candidate
Preferably with experience in the mental health sector, it’s essential to have a good understanding of the recovery model, along with a solution-focused attitude and a person-centred approach.
You should be comfortable taking initiative, working as part of a team, and adapting to a fast-paced environment and challenging situations. You should enjoy engaging with people with diverse needs and complexities, and possess empathy, understanding, and patience.
