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 part time 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 Castle Service in Cambridge for 15 hours week. A dispersed supported housing provider supporting young people aged 16 - 25 years old who are experiencing mental health difficulties.

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 social, recreational and educational activities 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 our service 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.

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

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

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.

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 Supported Housing service in Cambridge 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.
