Recovery Practitioner
We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Recovery Practitioner to support adults experiencing mental health challenges on their journey towards greater independence, wellbeing and recovery. You will work collaboratively with individuals to identify their strengths, goals and aspirations, helping them build confidence and develop practical skills for everyday life.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will provide person-centred support in a range of settings. Your duties will include completing assessments, contributing to support and risk management plans, monitoring progress and maintaining accurate, confidential records. You will encourage individuals to engage with appropriate services, activities and community resources, while promoting choice, dignity, inclusion and self-advocacy.
You will offer emotional and practical support, including assistance with maintaining accommodation, managing appointments, developing healthy routines and accessing education, training or employment opportunities. You will also support individuals to recognise early signs of relapse and develop coping strategies and crisis plans. The role may involve lone working, responding appropriately to changing needs and participating in rota-based, weekend or out-of-hours support where required.
The successful candidate will have experience of supporting people with mental health needs, substance misuse issues or other complex challenges. You will understand recovery-focused practice and be confident in building positive, professional relationships. Strong communication, organisational and record-keeping skills are essential, together with the ability to remain calm, empathetic and solution-focused in difficult situations.
A relevant qualification in health and social care, mental health or a related field is desirable, although equivalent experience will be considered. You must be committed to safeguarding, confidentiality, equality and continuous improvement. An enhanced background check will be required, along with a willingness to complete relevant training and development.
This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by empowering people to achieve sustainable progress and live fulfilling lives. If you are resilient, non-judgemental and passionate about recovery-led support, we would welcome your application.
