Support & Recovery provides a community, recovery based service to individuals with complex mental health issues who may also have a forensic background/been involved with the criminal justice services and autism.
We are seeking two enthusiastic male individuals to work and develop their skills to aid the recovery and identified outcomes for individuals to improve their quality of life.
As a Recovery Worker you will be expected to work in the community, hence the need to have robust emotional resilience. The successful applicant will be required to take a flexible approach to work and have a desire to make a real difference to the lives of people with mental health issues. Due to the nature of referrals, you may work alongside a colleague to provide staffing on a ratio of 2 – 1, although this may change over time.
The role may involve working a shift pattern (day/evening-time only) and may also include working regular/alternative weekends and some bank holidays.
Experience and skills in relation to working with people who have mental health issues and a good level of digital skills, i.e., inputting information/making recordings etc. are required within this role.
You will need to work flexibly around the needs of the individual, have great problem solving skills, be patient and resilient and committed to providing an excellent service.
There is an excellent support system from the management team and opportunities for training and development. When permanent posts, which may be full-time, become available, you will be able to apply.
