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’s Box Tree Farm as a Casual Recovery Worker.
Box Tree Farm is a mental health Crisis House service, supporting individuals experiencing a mental health crisis within a recovery-based model. The service is a 24-hour support service, operating 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Due to this, our hours of work are scheduled and agreed via a rota system, planned in advance with our teams. We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a staffed service to support those aged 18 and upwards.
We understand that recovery can look and feel very different for each individual. With the right support at the right time, recovery is possible for everyone. That’s where you come in. You will help and inspire service users to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community, working 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. However, candidates with an understanding of mental health issues and/or lived experience are encouraged to apply. More important is your caring and compassionate nature, empathy, and enthusiasm for helping others. You should be comfortable working independently and as part of a team, willing to participate in a weekly rota system, and available for on-call duties.
In return, this role offers great benefits, along with excellent training and development opportunities.
