London, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time
Job Introduction

Everyone’s Turning Point is unique. It’s the moment when they realise they’ve made a small, but important, step forward. Very often, that small step is the start of something bigger. But only when the needed support, advice and services are in place, will you see an individual evolving and reaching a new Milestone in their life.  

Milestone, is a SE London-based forensic mental health residential service, offering support and assistance to men with a forensic mental health history. Using the 'Recovery' approach, we support them to take an active part in their own care, enabling them to successfully integrate back into the community.

Role Responsibility

As a Recovery Worker, you'll make a real difference to people's lives. Passionate about supporting people, you'll enjoy the opportunity and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you make this role your own as part of our friendly, multidisciplinary team.

The day-to-day duties of a Recovery Worker consist of:

  • meeting residents on a 1:1 basis to encourage and assist the individual in their recovery goals
  • facilitating group activities & workshops to enhance engagement and support the individual to greater independence
  • providing input into the development of Person Centred Support Plans and Risk Assessments
  • attending and providing feedback in Clinical Reviews for your assigned residents
  • supporting residents to manage medication independently
  • liaising with the Specialised Support Structure at the service, which includes a Dual Diagnosis Worker and an Occupational Therapist to ensure residents are provided with the optimum level of support
  • liaising with community-based teams including SLAM Forensic Mental Health Team clinicians, Consultant Psychiatrist, GPs, charities, activity based services, DWP etc.
  • supporting residents with their daily living skills as well as tenancy sustainment skills
The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, able to work with a challenging client group using the Recovery Approach. You will work closely with your colleagues within the service and with local criminal justice/mental health services to support residents to develop and rediscover the skills to function as independently as possible within the community.

You will have some relevant experience working with vulnerable adults. Experience in Mental health/forensic/high risk settings would be desirable.  You must be available to work a 24 hour rota (early and late shift pattern), and be able to work weekends as well as bank holidays and sleep – in shifts.

NVQ level 3 / diploma in health and social care, or equivalent qualifications in a related field such as social work, nursing or counselling would be an advantage.

The successful candidate will need to have excellent written and verbal communication skills as you will be required to complete regular case notes/reports.

What Benefits Will I Receive?
