Recovery Practitioner
We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Recovery Practitioner to support adults in their journey towards greater independence, stability and wellbeing. This rewarding role involves working with individuals who may be experiencing mental health challenges, substance misuse, homelessness or other complex needs. You will provide person-centred support, helping each individual identify their goals and develop practical strategies for recovery.
Your responsibilities will include building trusting professional relationships, completing assessments and contributing to personalised support plans. You will encourage service users to develop daily living skills, maintain accommodation, manage appointments, access education or employment, and engage with health and community services. You will also support individuals to improve their confidence, resilience and social networks while promoting choice, dignity and independence at all times.
You will maintain accurate, confidential records and contribute to reviews, risk assessments and safeguarding procedures. The role involves working collaboratively with colleagues and external professionals, sharing relevant information appropriately and responding calmly to situations that may present a risk to the individual or others. You may also assist with practical tasks, medication prompts and the smooth day-to-day running of the service, in line with agreed policies and procedures.
We are looking for someone with experience of supporting people with complex or multiple needs, ideally within a health, social care, housing or community setting. You should have a good understanding of recovery-focused practice, safeguarding, confidentiality and professional boundaries. Excellent communication skills, patience and the ability to remain calm under pressure are essential. A relevant qualification in health and social care, counselling, mental health or a related subject is desirable, although equivalent experience will be considered.
This role may include evenings, weekends, bank holidays and occasional lone working. In return, you will receive appropriate training, ongoing development and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to people’s lives. A satisfactory enhanced DBS check and suitable references will be required before appointment.
