Make a real difference in your community

You’re caring, flexible and creative, thrive under pressure, know how to connect with people at all levels and enjoy helping others to live as independently as possible. You’d also 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. Welcome to Repton House as a Recovery Worker with Waythrough. 

About the Role

Repton House is a mental health supported housing service, working to a recovery model. We support individuals over the age of 18 who have long-term mental health needs and/or autism. This role would suit someone from a support, care, nursing or complex needs background. Our residents are at the centre of what we do, providing person-centred services – meaning no two days are the same.

We know that recovery can look and feel different for everyone. But we also know that when we provide the right support, at the right time, recovery is possible.

What You’ll Do

You will help inspire and empower the people using our services to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community. You will work alongside them to create a personalised support plan that enables them to achieve their goals and aspirations.

Your responsibilities may include:
• Supporting residents with daily living and developing independent living skills
• Assisting with domestic and financial management tasks
• Helping residents to access work, leisure, or educational opportunities
• Encouraging personal choice and promoting recovery-focused support
• Working both independently and as part of a team on a weekly rota and on-call system

To Succeed in This Role, You’ll Need:

A caring, compassionate and empathetic nature
• Enthusiasm for helping others and making a positive difference
• Flexibility, resilience and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• Confidence working both independently and as part of a wider support team
• Willingness to participate in a rota system, including on-call duties
• No prior experience is required, as full training will be provided – however, candidates with an understanding of mental health and/or lived experience are welcomed

In return for your skills and commitment, you’ll receive excellent training and development opportunities, plus a range of rewarding benefits as part of the Waythrough team.

About Us

Waythrough launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship.

Our vision is to break down the barriers that stop people getting the support they need to live a life they value. We tackle poverty and disadvantage in communities, through mental health, drug and alcohol, housing and related support.

We have almost 200 services around England – and nearly 3,500 amazing staff and volunteers who run them. Every year our services support around 125,000 people.

Bringing together two big organisations is not a small task and it’ll take a while to fully integrate our systems, processes and approaches. That’s why you will notice the jobs here are still branded ‘Richmond Fellowship’ or ‘Aquarius’ (our subsidiary charity in the Midlands). Next year we’ll be fully integrating our recruitment systems but for now they are separate.

Thanks for bearing with us – and don’t forget to check out the Waythrough jobs on the Humankind job site https://peoplekind.my.salesforce-sites.com/recruit/

Aquarius

Aquarius is a subsidiary of Waythrough. Aquarius is a Midlands-based charity supporting individuals to overcome the harms caused by drugs, alcohol and gambling. Aquarius has always held the view that people we support could resolve their problems with support and guidance and that people have the ability to find their own solutions to their problems. Our roles across the organisation include Practitioners and Administrators as well as Team Managers.
