Recovery Practitioner
We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Recovery Practitioner to support individuals in their journey towards greater independence, wellbeing and sustained recovery. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by providing person-centred support to people with mental health needs, substance misuse issues or other challenges affecting their daily lives.
In this role, you will build positive, professional relationships with service users and help them identify and achieve personal goals. Your responsibilities will include developing and reviewing support plans, encouraging independent living skills, promoting healthy routines and assisting individuals to access education, employment, healthcare and community services. You will also support medication routines where appropriate, maintain accurate records and contribute to reviews and risk assessments.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues, families, external professionals and local services to ensure a coordinated approach to support. The role may involve responding calmly to challenging situations, recognising changes in wellbeing and following safeguarding, health and safety, confidentiality and incident-reporting procedures. You will be expected to promote dignity, choice, inclusion and recovery-focused practice at all times.
Applicants should have experience of supporting people in a health, social care, homelessness, mental health or related setting. A good understanding of recovery principles, safeguarding and professional boundaries is desirable. You will need strong communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to maintain clear and accurate records, and confidence working both independently and as part of a wider team.
We are looking for someone who is reliable, resilient and non-judgemental, with a genuine commitment to helping people achieve positive change. A relevant qualification in health or social care is advantageous, although equivalent experience will be considered. The role may include evenings, weekends, bank holidays and lone working, so flexibility is essential. A commitment to equality, diversity and continuous learning is also required.
