Recovery Practitioner
We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Recovery Practitioner to support people on their journey towards improved wellbeing, independence and community participation. You will work alongside individuals to identify their goals, build on their strengths and develop practical recovery plans that reflect their needs, choices and aspirations.
In this role, you will provide person-centred support through one-to-one conversations, group activities and coordinated interventions. Your responsibilities will include completing assessments, contributing to support and risk management plans, monitoring progress and maintaining accurate, confidential records. You will encourage individuals to develop coping strategies, access appropriate services and build positive routines, while promoting choice, dignity and self-advocacy at all times.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues, health and social care professionals, families and external agencies to ensure that support is consistent and effective. The role may involve assisting with wellbeing activities, signposting to education, employment, housing or community resources, and responding appropriately to changing needs or periods of increased risk. You will be expected to follow safeguarding, confidentiality, health and safety and data protection procedures, escalating concerns in line with policy.
The successful candidate will have experience of supporting people experiencing mental health challenges, substance misuse, homelessness or other complex needs. You will bring a non-judgemental approach, excellent communication skills and the ability to build trusting professional relationships. A good understanding of recovery-focused practice, safeguarding and risk management is essential, as is the ability to work independently and as part of a wider team.
You should be organised, resilient and confident in managing competing priorities. Relevant experience or a qualification in health and social care, mental health, counselling or a related field would be advantageous. A willingness to complete required training, work flexibly and participate in supervision is expected. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by helping individuals recognise their strengths, achieve personal goals and take greater control of their lives.
