Devon Mental Health Alliance Recovery Practitioner
Type: Full-time • Salary: £25,000/pro rata • Location: North Devon • Closing date: When filled
Are you looking for an exciting new role supporting people to improve their mental wellbeing? We are looking for a full-time Recovery Practitioner for the Devon Mental Health Alliance in North Devon. We will also consider secondments into the Alliance from other organisations.
About the role:
Recovery Practitioners offer support to people in Devon experiencing a variety of mental health difficulties, working with people to improve their emotional wellbeing and develop additional coping skills, that in turn enable people to work towards their goals and support their recovery.
These posts are responsible for providing 1:1 and group support for users, with a specific focus on providing a conduit between statutory services (GPs, primary care networks, etc.) and community provision. Training is provided, so while applicants will ideally have experience of support work and/or an understanding of relevant interventions to support people with complex needs, we’re keen to hear from people who have transferrable skills and behaviours.
More information:
The Devon Mental Health Alliance has been commissioned through the Community Mental Health Framework to help transform the county’s approach to mental health, by supporting greater connectivity between the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector and statutory partners. We are seeking to appoint a Recovery Practitioner with the right skills and experience to be at the forefront of developing and delivering support services in partnership with experts by experience, families, carers, and statutory and VCSE agencies — services that will have the best outcomes for people facing significant challenges in their lives.
These roles will be employed through Devon Mind, working alongside the Alliance Locality Manager to help deliver a mental health and wellbeing support offer across North Devon. This will entail a range of responsibilities, from delivering one-to-one emotional support, facilitating psychoeducational courses and support groups, and liaising with colleagues in local primary care network (PCN) teams and community mental health teams (CMHTs). You will play a pivotal role in working alongside people with mental health challenges to help them navigate their own journey to recovery and positive mental wellbeing.
We are looking for someone with experience of working in a person-centred, solution-focused role with people from all walks of life who are seeking opportunities that will have positive outcomes for their mental health. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in an innovative and impactful programme that will make a genuine difference to people across Devon. You will be joining a committed and forward-looking team, with opportunities to grow your experience, skills, and influence.
