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, we are looking for someone like you to work at our Mental Health Wellbeing and Recovery Support Service in Leicester City, Oadby, Wigston and Blaby. Based in Leicester City our Life Links service provides a number of different support networks allowing people to choose how they receive support dependent on personal needs including an information line. 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. Previous work experience would be advantageous but is not essential as training will be provided.

As a recovery worker you will provide one to one support to people with a mental health condition and give them the tools that they need to overcome their difficulties through their recovery journey.

Based at our City Centre office you will carry your own case load where you will meet people either in their own homes, in the community or at base. You will devise support plans with your client and work towards goal orientated outcomes to help empower your clients and equip them with the self help tools that they need to help manage their mental health.

You will provide telephone support to people where you will provide information, advice and navigation to callers accessing our service.

You will attend community events, outreaches and surgeries to help raise the profile of the project and to help reach those individuals who cannot access our City Centre offices.

The salary for this post is £17,004.00 with progression to £17,230.00 per annum.

This is a full-time role requiring the post-holder to work 37.5 hours per week. There are five positions available.

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

This is a rolling recruitment process, shortlisted candidates will be interviewed as and when they apply.

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.

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.

Does your experience of working with adults with mental health problems include facilitating/leading groups? Would you 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? Then join us as an Activities and Wellbeing Support Worker.

Recovery Focus is a new group of expert charities with the shared aim to inspire individual recovery nationwide. Between us we have a track record of more than 200 years of developing and running personalised services that work with people with mental health, substance misuse and other complex needs to achieve their ambitions. Each partner organisation has its own rich history of success, but together we believe we can lead the way in evidence-based recovery pathways, tailored to meet local and individual needs.

Right now, one of our partners, Richmond Fellowship, is looking for an Activities and Wellbeing Support Worker to join the team at Winston House in Cambridge. An intensive  short-medium term mental health recovery unit, it offers placements to adults with severe and enduring mental health conditions. During the 50 years since it opened, the service has helped many people work through their own recovery and take responsibility back for their lives after living in institutions such as hospitals. But, they rely on the help of people like you.

Your challenge? To help ensure we provide a participative environment and broad range of community based opportunities for our clients, thus enabling them to gain increasing independence and develop their full potential working with principles of recovery. That means planning and delivering a programme of psycho- social, recreational and educational interventions and regularly monitoring and reviewing it. It also means offering practical advice, guidance and emotional support, contributing to individual support plans and signposting clients to a range of community resources. Developing a network of contacts that enable community access will be important too. And, when it comes to supporting the smooth running of the unit or helping individuals to develop peer support networks, again, we'll be counting on you. 

Proven relevant experience is key, as is the ability to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health distress, engage and support people who are experiencing them and apply your transferable life skills to motivate and inspire others. Comfortable working within a team and used to dealing with personal stress, you're great at prioritising and planning a workload too. What’s more, you're committed to Service User Involvement, aware of Health & Safety regulations and Data Protection and confidentiality protocols and willing to work evenings and weekends as required, in order to get the job done.

In return, you can expect some great benefits, including 25 days' annual leave plus statutory bank holidays and a contributory pension scheme after a qualifying period.

This is a permanent role, requiring the post-holder to work 37.5 hours per week.

The salary for this role is £17,504.00, with potential progression to £17,730.00 per annum.

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 8th February 2021. (We reserve the right to close vacancies before the specified closing date, should a large number of applications be received).

So, get inspired today and take the first steps towards a more fulfilling career.

About us
Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.

As we begin to emerge from the series of lockdowns, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.

This role has a focus on new and effective marketing approaches to ensure we reach those volunteers who have an ambition to end homelessness.  It’s also pivotal in the use of our Learning Management System for volunteers and ensuring that volunteers commit to an engaging and effective learning experience. However, you will not be alone, and you will need to work in a collaborative and positive way with our Volunteer Coordinators, Marketing and Data and Technology teams whose energy and expertise is vital to the delivery of effective volunteering support.  

About you
We are looking for someone who is able to work on multiple projects at once, has excellent organisation skills, and outstanding written and verbal communication. You will need the confidence and creativity to develop new ideas and approaches and the ability to build support for them and ensure their delivery.  
We want someone to make this role their own.  The remit is broad, the space for creativity and risk taking is generous and this team is ambitious about being sector leading in the way we work with our volunteers. 

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:
· Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
· Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
