About the role
We are seeking dedicated and compassionate Support and Recovery Workers to join our teams at Marron House and Solace Centre in Ealing. We support adults experiencing loneliness, isolation, and mental health challenges by providing pathways, support, and appropriate interventions to enable resettlements and safer, more integrated communities for our stakeholders.
The two services are side by side, so we are building a team of local workers who can support both services to achieve positive results for our Residents and Participants as well as the local community.
Marron House
Our residential services in Marron House provide a recovery-focused service to men and women with long-term mental health difficulties. The service works with Participants & Residents to increase independence and move them on into lower support accommodation. We work closely with mental health services, other partner agencies, and career s to improve living skills, increase social inclusion, and help individuals understand and manage their mental health to improve quality of life.
The services are spread across one site with 18 bedspaces. We provide personalized support around daily living skills such as budgeting, shopping, cooking, reminders to take medication, and developing a structured weekly routine.
Solace Centre
Solace is a unique mental health drop-in centre providing a welcoming and supportive community for adults experiencing loneliness, isolation, and mental health challenges. With 85 members, many diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression, Solace offers a safe space where individuals can feel included, build confidence, and make meaningful connections at their own pace. This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable individuals within our community.
Our members’ slogan, "Together Accepting Difference", reflects our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. Solace is more than a service – it’s a second home for many, where members can engage in activities like playing pool, using computers, or helping out in the garden, meet with friends, and have a coffee.
Salary: £13.85 p/h + 12.07% annual leave accrual paid monthly
Shift Pattern: Various shifts Monday to Sunday
