You’ve got a good understanding of mental health issues and really enjoy supporting others to achieve independence and lead their own recovery. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Richmond Fellowship as a Recovery Worker.

Right now, our Woodside Supported Housing service is looking for someone like you to support the people who use our services to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community. Not only are we committed to putting them at the heart of everything we do, we recognise they should be involved in decisions that affect their future too. That’s why we need you to inspire and support them to lead their own recovery. So, whether it’s helping to come up with a personal support plan that will see them achieve their goals and aspirations, developing domestic and finance management skills or accessing work, leisure or educational opportunities, your empathy, enthusiasm and compassion will have every chance to shine. Entering accurate case notes onto our IT system will be important too. And, when it comes to regularly liaising with GP surgeries, the local council, charities etc. or promoting the service within the community, again, we'll count on you.

The chances are, you already work in the mental health field. What is for certain is that you’re caring, consistent, flexible and creative, work well under pressure, know how to connect with people at all levels and, like us, are keen to break down the stigma of mental health. Oh and you’re happy working independently or, as a valued member of our team, being part of a weekly rota system and available for on call duties.

This is a permanent role, requiring the post-holder to work 15 hours per week. The post-holder will be required to work one sleep in shift per week.

The salary for this post is £17,004.00 with potential earnings of progression to £17,230.00 per annum (pro-rata).

We are committed to increasing our diversity and we would welcome applications from those with lived experience and/or who are from a BAME background.

Closing Date for applications is 12th March 2021. (We reserve the right to close vacancies before the specified closing date, should a large number of applications be received).

So, are you ready to take on this rewarding role that comes with some really great benefits? Apply now via our website.

Richmond Fellowship is part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence. We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone.

Are you a Capital Appeals specialist who wants to be part of a new development which will transform healthcare across Leeds for generations to come?

Leeds Hospitals Charity exists to ensure excellent healthcare for over a million patients and their families each year. We fund lifesaving equipment, ground-breaking research, and innovative healthcare projects that would not otherwise be funded by the NHS. We provide support for eight areas which make up the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust: Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds Children's Hospital, Leeds Cancer Centre, St James's University Hospital, Chapel Allerton Hospital, Seacroft Hospital, Wharfedale Hospital and Leeds Dental Institute.

We are launching a major capital appeal to raise £30m to support the creation of two state-of-the-art hospital buildings on the Leeds General Infirmary site, which will deliver a range of adult health services and will also be the brand-new home for Leeds Children's Hospital. We are looking for a Capital Appeal Director; both strategic and operational to lead the charge. Working with the Fundraising Director, Appeal Committee and other stakeholders and managing the Capital Appeal team you'll develop, implement, and monitor the private and public phases of the Capital Appeal.

This is an incredible role and we need an incredible person. A senior major gifts professional with experience of successfully delivering a multi-million-pound capital campaign, and a track record of personally securing 7-figure gifts, the Capital Appeal Director will be proactive, dynamic and ambitious. It goes without saying that first class communication and relationship development skills are a must, as well as a fine tuned ability to influence and persuade prospects and senior volunteers. With excellent attention to detail, you'll be a creative thinker with the ability to work collaboratively to design, develop and deliver a successful multi-million-pound fundraising campaign. You will be comfortable working in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment and developing and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders - both internal and external - including the Appeal Committee, the NHS Trust's leadership team, senior clinicians and the project delivery team.
