At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Specialist Recovery Worker to play a pivotal role in our Crisis Accommodation Service in London.
Sounds great, what will I be doing?
The main purpose of the role is to provide excellent quality support and interventions to clients with mental health needs who require early intervention and prevention support. You will support clients throughout their time in service and empower them with the skills to cope independently. You will carry out support and interventions in line with organisational values and the ethos of recovery and co-production, as well as in line with policies and procedures.
What do I need to bring with me?
You'll need to demonstrate the core skills required for this role and align with our values and mission. You don't have to meet all the criteria immediately; a willingness to learn is key. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so please mention this in your application if applicable.
Here's what the team will be looking for:
The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience supporting individuals with mental health and/or dual diagnosis issues, a strong understanding of various mental health conditions, safeguarding, and relevant legislation. They will be knowledgeable about recovery-focused approaches and local mental health services, and experienced in risk assessment, case management, and working dynamically under pressure. Strong communication skills are essential, including engaging respectfully with service users, representing the organisation externally, and delivering presentations to commissioners and stakeholders. The candidate must be able to work independently and as part of a team, support the induction of peer staff and volunteers, and build effective partnerships with statutory and community organisations. They should also possess strong organisational, time management, and IT skills, with the ability to prioritise tasks and produce clear written communication. A commitment to promoting dignity, respect, and empowerment in all aspects of work is essential.
