With 3,500 staff and volunteers across more than 200 services, we help people to live full, meaningful lives.
Some roles may still appear under our legacy brands (Humankind, Richmond Fellowship, Aquarius) while we complete our integration — but wherever you join us, you’ll be part of one supportive team, sharing one purpose.
What We ...
We’re expanding our vibrant, committed Young Persons’ Housing team across Somerset—and this is your chance to be part of something truly meaningful.
We’re searching for passionate individuals who believe wholeheartedly in young people—their strengths, their potential, and their capacity to thrive. If you’re driven to make a genuine difference in their lives and the communities we serve, we want to hear from you.
At the heart of this role is building positive, professional, and trusting relationships with every young person. You’ll create a safe, encouraging environment where they feel empowered to take steps toward greater independence and achieve goals that matter to them.
Our team champions an asset-based approach, celebrating each individual’s unique abilities and actively supporting their positive progression. If you’re ready to have real impact and help inspire transformative change, we can’t wait to receive your application.
While you’ll be supported by robust systems and a dedicated team, this role also calls for confidence and capability to work independently. You’ll need to feel comfortable working alone and be skilled in engaging with complex and challenging behaviours with empathy and professionalism.
Come and be part of a team that’s changing lives—one young person at a time. If you're ready to make a real impact and facilitate transformative change, we look forward to receiving your application.
Whilst there are systems in place to support you, a substantial part of the role includes the ability to lone work. Therefore, we require someone competent and confident when working alone and somebody who is able to understand and work with complex and challenging behaviours, appropriately.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our children and young people. We follow a safer recruitment process, all appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS check and are required to provide two suitable references.
Mental Health Recovery Worker
Job Introduction
At Turning Point, we support people across the UK with mental health issues. As a Recovery Worker, you’ll make a real difference to their lives as you work closely with them to help them achieve their potential. Turning Point has several well-established services within Nottingham.
Our new supported living service in Sherwood will support people who may have dual diagnoses, legal restrictions, a history of drug/and or alcohol use and complex support needs.
Passionate about people, you’ll enjoy the scope and support individuals to gain the skills to live independently. With an emphasis on key working, you’ll need to work flexibly to manage your own small caseload and help with the day to day running of the service.
The service operates 24/7 with rota consisting of day, evening and waking night shifts including alternate weekends.
Role Responsibility
Raising the bar for person–centred support, you’ll provide a range of recovery focused support through key working sessions. People’s lives will be truly changed by you as you enable and prepare them to gain new skills and help them find ways to promote their long term recovery.

The Ideal Candidate
A relevant qualification is desirable, although not essential. We are looking for some experience in the mental health sector, and that you will have a good understanding of the recovery model, together with a solution–focused attitude and a person–centred approach.
You’ll be equally comfortable getting things done on your own initiative and as part of a team, and have no problems working in a fast–paced environment and adapting to challenging situations. And of course, you’ll be the sort of person who enjoys talking to people with different needs, is genuinely interested in helping them, and possesses a deep level of empathy, understanding and patience.

Turning Point
Mental Health Recovery Worker
Job Introduction
Everyone’s Turning Point is unique. It’s the moment when they realise they’ve made a small, but important, step forward. Very often, that small step is the start of something bigger, but only when the right support, advice and services are in place. That’s where you come in. You’ll make a real difference to their lives as you develop the personal, flexible and recovery-focused support plans they need to help turn things around. Passionate about people, you’ll support them to take control, improve their quality of life and face the future with confidence.

The service provides high support housing to service users with enduring mental health backgrounds. The service consists of 8 flats and offers a full recovery and rehabilitation package to our service users.
We aim to support and assess on-going needs of our service users to build on their existing skills while learning new ones. All service users are allocated to a named Support Worker. Service users are required to fully participate in the process of planning their care, which includes attending support/key work sessions with staff; this time is for clients to discuss any issues or areas of concern they may have, or perhaps go out for a coffee/trip to local activities, or be supported with a practical task in their flat such as cleaning or laundry.
Role Responsibility
You will provide recovery focused support to service users in accordance with their support plans. You will have well-honed skills in positive communication, engagement, and will be able to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for service users.
You will have the maturity to work within a positive framework supporting clients. You will have the ability to deliver services and interventions in a person centred, non-judgmental manner, and recovery-based way.
You will work alongside members of the service user’s circle of support, to enable individuals to be happy, healthy, and successful in achieving their life goals.
Your typical duties will include:
- providing support and guidance to service users
- administering medication
- daily record keeping and incident report writing
- running group activities
- help with inducting new staff members
- upholding the cleanliness of the service to adhere to infection prevention control measures
You will be required to work in a flexible manner on a roster basis including office hours, evenings, some weekends and sleep-ins.
The Ideal Candidate
Previous experience in the mental health sector is desirable but not essential. What is important is that you have a genuine desire to support individuals in their recovery and have a can-do attitude.
We need compassionate, proactive and professional individuals who are highly motivated, hardworking and keen to support service users with mental health and complex care needs. Being a good communicator is essential, to be able to get on with people of all ages and from all backgrounds, and you will also be liaising with other professionals.
We value the personal skills and interests you can bring to the role and to the lives of the service users we support, such as: sports, arts and crafts, music and cooking to name but a few.
