About the Role
Mental Health Recovery Workers ensure our residents are at the heart of everything we do. As a Mental Health Recovery Worker, you will be integral to our team, providing essential support to individuals accessing our mental health services. Your primary focus will be on delivering person-centred support that empowers those we support to achieve their recovery goals. This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in a collaborative environment.
Independence and resilience can look and feel very different for each person. You will support and inspire service users to maintain their accommodation and build independence skills. You will work directly with individuals to co-produce support plans aimed at achieving their goals, which may include developing domestic and financial management skills, managing their accommodation, or accessing work, leisure, or educational opportunities.
About the Service
We work with people on a one-to-one basis, using a recovery-based model and individual support planning to empower them to develop opportunities, gain skills, and make positive choices. We have eight self-contained flats to help individuals develop skills for more independent living, providing practical and emotional support to foster independence and confidence in a community setting.
About You
You share our commitment to breaking down the stigma of mental health. You will bring strong customer service and communication skills, along with empathy, flexibility, creativity, compassion, and enthusiasm for supporting others. You should thrive under pressure, be comfortable working independently and in a team, and enjoy connecting with people at all levels.
No formal qualifications are required as full training will be provided. Candidates with understanding of mental health issues and/or lived experience are encouraged to apply. You must be willing to work independently and as part of a team, participate in a weekly rota, and be available for on-call duties during evenings, weekends, and nights.
