We are looking for a motivated and passionate sessional support worker to facilitate a community based Recovery Hub which will provide a range of activities to people at all stages of mental health recovery with the overall aim of building self-confidence, self-esteem, resilience and social networks and providing a first point of contact for people who are experiencing difficulties with daily living.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office and client management systems, with strong IT and administration skills is also required.

We’ll offer you flexible working hours, a generous pension scheme and leave entitlements, eye care vouchers, a cycle to work scheme and other great benefits. We have an excellent wellbeing offer and we will invest in your professional development with ongoing quality training and career development opportunities. You’ll join an established, supportive and high-performing service and have the opportunity to thrive in an innovative, non-hierarchical organisation that values your opinion, encourages learning and has the needs of children and families at its core.
We are forward looking, ambitious and committed to continuous improvement. We are a people-focused, can-do organisation, which strives for excellence in all we do and operates with mutual respect.
