Are you passionate about working in care and making a difference? Are you looking for the next step in your career?
Our approach is based on embracing the values of recovery and focusing on mental well-being. We do not see mental health problems as an “illness”, and as a consequence we do not see our clients as “patients”. Recovery does not mean “to cure”, it is about providing people with the skills to manage and enjoy their lives. At Amitola Communities we work alongside individuals on their journey.
Our residential care and recovery homes are based in York, North Yorkshire and provide a therapeutic community setting, encouraging the development, well-being and independence of our residents. Offering long-term, medium-term and short-term care, as part of an individual recovery pathway to support our residents in reaching their full potential, enabling some to move back into the wider community, with varying degrees of support.
A recovery journey is personalised to the individual and everyone has the right to choose their own path to recovery, to move beyond the traditional ideals of survival and existence through the promotion and the development of key living skills, increased independence brought about by meaningful and purposeful daily activities. We use innovative techniques to encourage and support everyone to have purpose in their lives and full control over their futures. Our recovery programmes are facilitated by a dedicated and experienced team of professionals, including a Mental Health Nurses (RMN), Recovery Workers, Councillors, trained Family Workers, clinical psychologists, internal and external therapeutic activity providers.
