Recovery Practitioner
We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Recovery Practitioner to support individuals in their journey towards improved wellbeing, greater independence and meaningful community participation. You will work alongside people with mental health needs, helping them identify personal goals, build confidence and develop practical strategies to support recovery.
You will provide flexible, person-centred support in accordance with individual recovery plans. Duties may include assisting with daily living skills, promoting healthy routines, supporting access to education, employment and community activities, and encouraging positive relationships. You will help individuals recognise their strengths, make informed choices and maintain control over their support.
The role involves building trusting professional relationships, monitoring wellbeing and responding appropriately to changes in presentation or circumstances. You will maintain accurate, timely records, contribute to reviews and work collaboratively with colleagues, families, external professionals and other relevant services. You will also promote safeguarding, equality, dignity and respect at all times, following appropriate policies and procedures.
The successful candidate will have experience of supporting people experiencing mental health challenges, complex needs or social disadvantage. You should understand recovery-focused and strengths-based approaches, demonstrate sound professional boundaries and be confident responding calmly to difficult or unexpected situations. Experience of risk assessment, care planning and safeguarding is desirable, although relevant transferable experience will be considered.
You will need excellent communication and organisational skills, a positive and non-judgemental approach, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. A willingness to work flexibly, including weekends, evenings or bank holidays where required, is essential. The ability to travel between services or community locations may also be necessary.
This role offers the opportunity to make a genuine difference by supporting people to achieve their aspirations and lead fulfilling, independent lives. Full training, supervision and ongoing professional development will be provided.
