Recovery Worker

£19,304 pro rata per annum

Leicestershire

You’re caring, flexible and creative, thrive under pressure, know how to connect with people at all levels and really enjoy helping others to live as independently as possible. You’d also like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with. Welcome to Richmond Fellowship’s Leicester Life Links as a Recovery Worker.

Leicester Life Links is a mental health, wellbeing and recovery support service. We are a community based service and we work to a recovery model. We provide a range of support services for people with mental ill health to access their local community, including outreach support, 1:1 support, peer support and recovery education workshops. We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a specialised service to individuals within Leicestershire who are aged 18 and upwards.

We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone. That’s where you come in. Responsible for helping and inspiring the people who use our services to better manage their mental health and promote independence within the community, we’ll rely on you to work with them to come up with a personal support plan that will see them achieve their goals and aspirations. Whether it’s developing their domestic and finance management skills or accessing work, leisure or educational opportunities, one thing’s for sure ‐ you will have every chance to shine.

In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.

Richmond Fellowship is 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.

This is a permanent full-time role requiring the post holder to work 37.5 hours per week.
