Job Description:
### Job Introduction
At Turning Point, we support people across England with mental health issues.
We make a real difference to their lives as we introduce them to the personal,
flexible and realistic support they need to improve the quality of their lives
in their communities. Passionate about people, youll enjoy the scope and
support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience,
training and education you need to progress in your career with us.
Crisis Point is a well established service, and is staffed 24 hours a day, 365
days a year. It comprises of 6 beds for short-stay accommodation, a drop-in
service, and a phone support service. A newly commissioned part of the service
is the Recovery Lounge, and this will be open primarily from 5pm till midnight
every night.
Join our team at Crisis Point as a Recovery Worker and you will play a full
part in the day to day duties of the service, promoting recovery focused care
and support plans to people who are experiencing a crisis with their mental
health.
### Role Responsibility
The main purpose of the role is to assist individuals to address and de-
escalate their mental health crisis in a safe, friendly, non-clinical setting.
You will deliver a high quality person centred service in line with the
service specification and will work as part of a team.
In a role where no two shifts are the same, you will take referrals and assess
new service users presenting with a mental health crisis, deliver support
sessions, and facilitate informal group work and other therapeutic activities.
You will also support and enable our service users to make informed choices
about their future. Further duties include recording of service user
information for reporting purposes and in line with GDPR, liaising with other
health professionals, contributing to the safeguarding of vulnerable people,
and ensuring that the premises are maintained in line with essential health
and safety standards.
The role will require you to offer support face-to-face and remotely by
telephone.
### The Ideal Candidate
You will be able to demonstrate good knowledge, experience and values
essential to working in the mental health sector. You will have excellent
verbal and written communication skills with the ability to tailor the message
to the audience. Experience of supporting people with a range of other issues
such as housing, drugs, alcohol, relationship problems would be beneficial.
Full training is provided in order for the successful candidate to work
safely, to learn and develop within the role and beyond.
The successful applicant will be working at both Crisis Point and the Recovery
Lounge and will be required to work a varied rota that will include evenings,
sleeps, and occasional waking nights. Travel to and from shifts during
unsocial hours is acknowledged as a potential difficulty, and so taxi fares
are covered when reasonable and justifiable.
You will be confident in working with information technology on a range of
software applications.
You will be able to deliver interventions in a person centred, non-judgemental
manner. You will have the ability to deal effectively and calmly with
challenging situations.
Driven and passionate, you wont have a problem with multitasking and dealing
with conflicting deadlines and crisis situations. And of course, as a Recovery
Worker, youll love talking to people with different needs, be genuinely
interested in helping them, possess a deep level of empathy, have great
listening skills, and understanding and patience for people suffering from an
acute mental health crisis.
