Are you looking for an exciting new role supporting people to improve their mental wellbeing?
We are currently looking to recruit a full-time Recovery Practitioner for the Devon Mental Health Alliance, with the right skills and experience to join our team in Plymouth.
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, weโre 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 countyโs approach to mental health, by supporting greater connectivity between the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector and statutory partners. We are looking for a Recovery Practitioner to join our team and be at the forefront of developing and delivering support services in partnership with experts by experience, families, carers, and other agencies โ services that will have the best outcomes for people facing significant challenges. Whilst the role is initially fixed-term until the end of March 2027, we hope to extend it beyond this period.
This role will be employed through Devon Mind, working alongside the Locality Manager to help deliver a mental health and wellbeing support offer across Plymouth. 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 journeys 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 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.
