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 24 hour Supported Housing service in Tameside 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.
Please note that the post-holder will be required to work a minimum of one sleep-in shift per week.
Closing date: 11th February 2020
So, are you ready to take on this rewarding role that comes with some really great benefits, including a smartphone? 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.

Justlife are looking to recruit 2 Network Development Workers (1 full time and 1 part time) to join our Research and Policy team to help us develop our network of people and organisations across the UK who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of the thousands of people living in Unsupported Temporary Accommodation (UTA). The roles can be based at either of our projects, in Brighton or Manchester, and will involve regular travel between both areas and nationally. The role will include supporting the development of new and existing Temporary Accommodation Action Groups, gathering and sharing of information and learning related to UTA and developing potential solutions.
We are looking for people who are confident in communicating with a wide range of people, able to learn and reflect and think creatively to solve problems and develop solutions. Our values include collaboration, innovation and being people focussed and we will be looking for those who can fit our team and ethos as an organisation, and help us develop our work to help make people's experience of UTA be as short, safe and healthy as possible.
Research and Policy Team
The aim of the Research and Policy Team is to influence the housing and homelessness sector to ensure stays in unsupported temporary accommodation (UTA) are as short, safe and healthy as possible. Since 2013 Justlife have carried out research and produced reports including on the effects on the health and wellbeing of people placed in UTA, recommendations of solutions to the challenges faced by local authorities, landlords and support services, as well as mapping the provision of UTA across England.
The research and policy work build on local frontline services in Brighton and Manchester that support adults experiencing housing vulnerability, many of which face complex and multiple disadvantage. It uses learning from the services and wider research it carries out to influence policy and systems change for residents of UTA on a local and national level, as well as within the Justlife services.
One of the key recommendations in the ‘Not Home’ report was the development of Temporary Accommodation Action Groups across the country. The UTA Network has been developed as a means for Justlife to support local areas, organisations and individuals, to set up and run Temporary Accommodation Action Groups as well as sharing knowledge and experience, gain a better understanding of the national picture and provide a stronger platform on which to campaign for change in the sector.

Are you someone who thrives in a fast-paced, challenging environment and won’t be fazed in a custodial/prison setting? Join us at HMP Styal as a Resettlement Triage Worker and you could be instrumental in turning around often chaotic lives.
Shelter run an Integrated Through the Gate service in prisons across the North West, working closely with offenders and a range of other agencies to provide a holistic service that assesses individual need so that prisoners are fully supported up to and following release.
About the role
You will play a critical role as part of a team working to rehabilitate prisoners and reduce reoffending rates helping to deliver resettlement services within HMP Styal, or via outreach at other local prisons.

You’ll also need to be able to use MS office applications.
Benefits include 30 days’ annual leave, the possibility of flexible working, enhanced family friendly policies and significant opportunities for learning and development.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We're here so no-one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
