About Future Pathways

Future Pathways offers support to people who were
abused or neglected as a child when they were in the
Scottish care system. The service was established
alongside the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry and has
expanded considerably since its start in 2016. Future
Pathways’ aim is to help people live well. To change
paths, enjoy life, succeed and grow.

Working closely with our Commissioner, the Scottish
Government and more than 40 delivery partners,
Future Pathways has pioneered a unique model of
support that is transformative.

Our partnership approach is rooted in understanding
that the impact of childhood trauma is individual and
lifelong. We recognise that the experience of abuse in
care often means people may face significant barriers
to accessing much needed help.

As importantly, everyone we support will have different
needs and have insight about what will work best for them.
We provide a safe and trusted space for people to explore
what is most important to them and to access tailored help
toward their goals.

More than 2,800 people have registered. We have grown as
more people seek support. Future Pathways hosts 6 support
coordination teams and 60 full-time equivalent staff.

Recovery Support 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.

We are looking for a dedicated, passionate and skilled Recovery Support Worker to join our new team at Sunningdale House. The service provides high support housing to service users with enduring mental health backgrounds. The service consists of 6 rooms with en-suite facilities 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
• supporting Guests with their 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. You also need to have the ability to support people who are experiencing a crisis.

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.

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.

About us

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package.

You will get 31 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 33 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.

Salary: £40,000

As an Animal Rescue Officer (ARO) with the RSPCA, you'll respond to reports of cruelty, neglect, or injury and play a vital role in preventing animal suffering through education, advice, and, where necessary, intervention. If you are motivated by animal welfare and want to make a meaningful difference, a career as an ARO could be perfect for you.

• This work can be physically and emotionally demanding, but it is also deeply meaningful and highly rewarding. You'll see the direct impact of your decisions and actions on animals' lives and the people connected to them. We recognise the emotional demands of animal rescue work, and as part of our commitment to your wellbeing, you'll have access to mental health resources, inclusive policies, and ongoing development opportunities to support both your personal resilience and long-term career progression.
• Much of the role involves working independently and travelling long distances, including frequent motorway driving and visits to remote rural locations. While you'll often be out on your own, you'll remain closely connected to a supportive and experienced team. We provide comprehensive training, equipment, and guidance to help you work safely and confidently.
• You will regularly engage with members of the public in emotionally charged situations. People may be distressed, angry, anxious, or defensive, and effective communication is essential. You'll need to ask the right questions quickly, gather accurate information under pressure, and use calm, confident influencing skills to de-escalate heightened emotions while remaining professional and empathetic. These skills are critical in enabling you to make accountable decisions without immediate supervision, often with real consequences for animal welfare and public safety.

There are not many careers that allow you to pursue your passion while making a real difference in the world. As an ARO, you'll help improve animals' lives every day.

We recognise that people bring different strengths, backgrounds, and experiences. If you are resilient, reflective, committed to learning, and motivated by making a difference - even if you don't meet every requirement perfectly but share our values - we encourage you to apply. Are you one of our kind?

We think this role's going to be popular and are expecting to attract high interest, so we strongly encourage early applications to avoid missing out. We may close the advert early if we receive sufficient applications before the closing date.

• Online assessments: You will be offered slots on any day between 23rd February and 6th March.

To be considered, you must live within one of the postcodes specified in the document attached to this advert (scroll down) titled 'South Yorks - Postcodes.'

Unfortunately, we are not currently considering applications from candidates who wish to relocate.

We welcome applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds. You do not need previous animal welfare experience to apply, many of the skills needed for this role can be gained through other careers, caring roles, volunteering, or community-facing work.

Essential requirements:

• Aged 17 or over at application and 18 by the course start date
• Resilience, good judgement, and strong communication skills, with the ability to handle sensitive conversations
• Ability to work independently, with the support of a wider team
• Willingness to work varied shifts between 8am and 9pm, including bank holidays and weekends
• Availability to start on 18th May 2026and commit to a continuous, intensive 26-week training programme (annual leave cannot be taken during this period)
• Flexibility to travel for training at locations across the country, with occasional overnight stays
• Full manual driving licence, with recent experience and confidence driving long distances (up to 150 miles per day)
• Comfortable with lone working
• Confident swimmer: able to swim 50 metres fully clothed within 2.5 minutes by the point of assessment during training
