Mental Health Recovery Worker
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.
As a Recovery Worker, you’ll work with individuals on their journey, devising individually tailored support and risk management plans. Ultimately, you’ll play a vital role in helping them to gain skills and coping strategies, all while encouraging positive change and independence.
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.
