Job Description:
### 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 right support, advice and
services are in place. That’s where you come in. You’ll make a real difference
to their lives as you develop the personal, flexible and recovery-focused
support plans they need to help turn things around. Passionate about people,
you’ll support them to take control, improve their quality of life and face
the future with confidence.
We are looking for a dedicated, passionate and skilled Recovery Workers to
join the team at our brand new Ashford-based Recovery House. This residential
service consists of 5 rooms and provides up to 5 days support for individuals
with enduring mental health needs, who are in crisis.
During their stay, service users benefit from a safe and therapeutic
environment, which includes quiet spaces, spaces to socialise, and spaces
where people can access a sensory environment and activities. Our person
centred approach means service users are supported to engage and lead in a
process, which involves personalised support assessment, planning and review.
The aim is to assess and support the on-going needs of our service users to
build on their existing skills, support them to learn new ones, to develop
effective coping mechanisms and build confidence to manage their mental health
and to stay well.

their support plans. You will have well-honed skills in positive
communication, engagement, and will be able to demonstrate unconditional
positive regard for service users.
You will have the maturity to work within a positive framework supporting
clients. You will have the ability to deliver services and interventions in a
person centred, non-judgmental manner, and recovery-based way.
You will work alongside members of the service user’s circle of support, to
enable individuals to be happy, healthy, and successful in achieving their
life goals.
Your typical duties will include:
* providing support and guidance to service users
* supporting service users with their medication
* daily record keeping and incident report writing
* help with inducting new staff members
* upholding the cleanliness of the service to adhere to infection prevention control measures

of the team, these two individuals - although primarily lone workers - will be
supported in this role by a site based sleep-in colleague, who can be called
on in an emergency. Although night workers will be required to work some
weekends, they will not be required to cover other rota shifts.
### The Ideal Candidate
Previous experience in the mental health sector is desirable but not
essential. What is important is that you have a genuine desire to support
individuals in their recovery and have a can-do attitude.
We need compassionate, proactive and professional individuals who are highly
motivated, hardworking and keen to support service users with mental health
and complex care needs. You also need to have the ability to support people
who are experiencing a crisis.
You will have the maturity to work within a positive framework supporting
clients. You will have the ability to deliver services and interventions in a
person centred, non-judgmental manner, and recovery-based way.

all ages and from all backgrounds, and you will also be liaising with other
professionals.
We value the personal skills and interests you can bring to the role and to
the lives of the service users we support, such as: sports, arts and crafts,
music and cooking to name but a few.
