Salary + benefits

Newbury, West Berkshire

Would you like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise, and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they support?

Welcome to Waythrough’s Supported Housing & Floating Support as a Recovery Worker.

About the service

West Berkshire Supported Housing & Floating Support is a support service, working to a recovery model and offers a support service to our clients aged 18 and upwards. Supported hosing offers 13 self-contained flats for those looking to live a more independent life and our floating support offers support to those in their own home. We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone.

About the role

Recovery Workers ensure our clients are at the heart of everything we do. They are responsible for inspiring the people who use our services to lead their own recovery, while maintaining their tenancy and independence in the community. Together they co-produce a personalised support plan designed to address their specific needs and achieve their goals and aspirations. Recovery Workers also develop your leadership skills by taking on lead areas and extra responsibilities. The support work at our service varies a lot so not every day or support session is the same. This can include but is not limited to:

• Support to attend medical appointments
• Finding and attending social groups and external activities
• Meal planning, shopping, and cooking
• Finances and budgeting
• Living Skills
• Working on interventions
