Mental Health Recovery Worker - 2 (Derby)

£24,570 per annum

Permanent ​37.5 hours per week

Derby

You’ve got a good understanding of mental health issues and really enjoy supporting others to achieve independence and lead their own recovery. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Waythrough as a Recovery Worker.

Right now, our Community based service in Derby is looking for someone like you to support the people who use our services to maintain their independence in the community. Not only are we committed to putting them at the heart of everything we do, we recognise they should be involved in decisions that affect their future too. That’s why we need you to inspire and support them to lead their own recovery. So, whether it’s helping to come up with a personal support plan that will see them achieve their goals and aspirations, developing domestic and finance management skills or accessing work, leisure or educational opportunities, your empathy, enthusiasm and compassion will have every chance to shine. Entering accurate case notes onto our IT system will be important too. And, when it comes to regularly liaising with GP surgeries, the local council, charities etc. or promoting the service within the community, again, we'll count on you.

The chances are you already work in the mental health field. What is for certain is that you’re caring, consistent, flexible and creative, work well under pressure, know how to connect with people at all levels and, like us, are keen to break down the stigma of mental health. Oh, and you’re happy working independently or, as a valued member of our team, working pattern is over 7 seven days a week and typically 9-5pm, you may be required to work some weekends and evening shifts.
