Chy is a residential rehabilitation unit in Truro, providing drug, alcohol and mental health treatment services to some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in society. We have an 18-bed main property and a further 8 beds in a block of flats on the grounds that are used as ‘move on’ accommodation for those with more specific therapeutic needs.

Many of the people who come to us have experienced multiple traumas and are living with acute mental health support needs. This is an exciting time to join the team following a year of developments and improvements to the services offered.

You will be joining a team of passionate people, with the opportunity to work alongside a multi-disciplinary team of person-centred counsellors and a psychoanalytic art therapist. As a Residential Support Worker, you will support our residents to engage in activities that develop their independent living skills such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, and most importantly, learning to have fun in their sobriety. There will be the opportunity to co-facilitate workshops around basic life skills and goal-setting.
