Recovery Practitioner
We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Recovery Practitioner to support adults experiencing mental health challenges on their journey towards greater independence, stability and wellbeing. You will provide person-centred support, helping individuals identify their goals, build confidence and develop practical skills for managing daily life and recovery.
Working collaboratively with service users, colleagues and external professionals, you will contribute to the assessment, planning, delivery and review of individual support plans. Your responsibilities will include offering emotional and practical support, encouraging engagement with meaningful activities, promoting healthy routines and helping people access appropriate community services, education, training and employment opportunities.
You will maintain accurate, confidential records and provide clear updates on progress, risks and changing needs. The role involves identifying and responding appropriately to safeguarding concerns, supporting positive risk management and following relevant policies, procedures and professional standards. You may also assist with appointments, household tasks, budgeting, medication prompts and other activities that promote independence, depending on individual requirements.
The successful candidate will have experience of supporting people with mental health needs, substance misuse, homelessness, complex needs or other barriers to independent living. You will be confident building positive, professional relationships and communicating effectively with people from a range of backgrounds. A calm, respectful and non-judgemental approach is essential, together with the ability to work independently and as part of a wider team.
You should be organised, reliable and able to manage competing priorities while maintaining a high standard of care. An understanding of recovery-focused practice, safeguarding, confidentiality and equality principles is desirable. Relevant qualifications in health and social care, mental health or a related area are advantageous, although practical experience and the right values will also be considered. Flexibility to work varied shifts, including evenings, weekends or bank holidays, may be required.
