Recovery and Connect Worker

Chester, Cheshire, United Kingdom Richmond Fellowship Full time

Many people are experiencing mental health issues and urgently need support. That's where our new service and you come in.

Join Richmond Fellowship as a Recovery and Connect Worker and you'll play a vital role in helping individuals access the support services and opportunities they need to improve their quality of life and ensure that their mental health is improving.

Chester and Wirral pathway is a community based project that will assist people in hospital ready for discharge home from mental health inpatient settings.

Your role will be in supporting patients in various hospital settings to overcome the barriers to them leaving hospital. This will include being part of MDT meetings, housing and benefits support, utility reconnection, identifying housing and a package of 12 week support upon discharge from hospital. Ideally candidates will have good housing experience. This is an agile role that will require travel between hospitals and the community.

Your challenge will be to support individuals with complex mental health needs to feel in control of their care, access mental health support and other local opportunities and build their emotional resilience. You'll manage a caseload of individuals with mental health concerns, formulating support plans and establishing positive relationships with a range of multidisciplinary organisations.

You'll need a significant understanding of mental health issues and substantial experience of working within a mental health setting where you dealt with 'high risk' clients and managing resources effectively. A good understanding of recovery and coproduction is important too, as is a proven ability to lead, supervise and motivate staff and delegate work appropriately. Adept at managing conflicting demands and priorities on time, you have a flexible attitude to working hours and, above all, keen to be part of something new and worthwhile that will change lives.

This is a fixed term role that ends on 31 May 2025. This is a full-time role requiring the post holder to work 37.5 hours per week.

This is a rolling recruitment process; shortlisted candidates will be interviewed as and when they apply.

On 1st June 2024, Richmond Fellowship, part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence merged with Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we've all known has been needed for decades. In October 2024, Humankind will be renamed to reflect the new organisation.
