We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Recovery Practitioner to support individuals in their journey towards improved wellbeing, greater independence and sustained recovery. You will work with people experiencing mental health challenges, substance misuse or other complex needs, providing practical, emotional and person-centred support.
In this rewarding role, you will build trusting relationships with service users and work collaboratively to identify their goals, strengths and support needs. You will contribute to personalised recovery plans, encourage engagement with appropriate services and help individuals develop the skills and confidence needed to manage their wellbeing and live fulfilling lives.
Your responsibilities will include carrying out assessments, contributing to risk management and maintaining accurate, timely records. You will provide one-to-one and group support, promote healthy lifestyles and independence, and assist service users to access housing, education, employment, healthcare and community resources. You will also respond appropriately to changing needs, follow safeguarding procedures and work in partnership with families, carers and other professionals where appropriate.
The successful candidate will have experience of supporting people with mental health, substance misuse or related support needs. You will understand recovery-focused and strengths-based approaches, demonstrate awareness of safeguarding and risk management, and be confident working within professional boundaries. A relevant qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable.
We are looking for someone who is empathetic, reliable and resilient, with excellent communication and organisational skills. You will be able to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team, manage competing priorities and maintain confidentiality at all times. A non-judgemental approach, commitment to equality and diversity, and genuine belief in people’s ability to achieve positive change are essential.
This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives while developing your professional skills within a supportive environment. Some flexibility may be required to meet the needs of the service, including occasional evening, weekend or outreach work.
