We're currently recruiting for a Recovery Worker to work within our Yeovil hub. As a Recovery Worker we offer a starting salary of £25,870 rising each year in line with our pay progression salary bands, rising to £30,265 per year. (Dependent on experience you may be offered a starting salary above the initial starting salary). You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning journey and clearly defined career pathways that will enable you to achieve your long-term goals and work to your strengths. Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Substance Use Practitioner at Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey. Role Responsibility Recovery Workers act as 'key workers' to a caseload of service users, supporting them to decide their goals around treatment and develop plans to achieve these. The role includes maintaining regular contact with your clients, offering advice, information and psycho-social interventions as well as providing assessments, risk management planning and working closely with our clinical staff around prescribing needs and partner agencies. No day is the same in this role but an ability to communicate effectively with a range or service users and colleagues, an ability to manage different tasks and a commitment to Turning Point values are essential.

However, we also recognise that many people have transferrable skills from other backgrounds such as mental health, housing or other health and social care provision.

We also look for candidates with excellent communication skills and who share our values as an organisation. We value individuals with lived experience but also those who are just interested in this line of work; our Trainee Recovery Worker program enables individuals without all relevant experience to gain an entry level position within the organisation before moving on to other roles. We value individual creativity and initiative and, whatever your role, you will be fully involved in identifying opportunities to improve the quality of our services and the service user experience. Your ideas will be listened to and your suggestions implemented wherever possible. You will be supported in your role by extensive training to help develop your skills. Our learning culture encourages everyone to stay on top of the latest developments in their field and helps drive service improvement. About us What Benefits Will I Receive?

In return, you will receive a competitive salary starting at £32,034.46 and rising incrementally to £35,081.51 per annum. We re London s leading homelessness charity and we get things done. In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we re not shying away. We re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. We re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. We re not perfect, but we re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn t just a job. It s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind. About the Specialist Housing First Worker role: Housing First changes what is possible for people who have been shut out, moved on and let down for too long. Single Homeless Project's (SHP s) Camden Housing First service is expanding, and we re looking for a passionate and skilled Project Worker to join an innovative team supporting people with long histories of rough sleeping, multiple exclusion and co-occurring needs. This includes a new and important focus on supporting couples who have been rough sleeping and will be accommodated separately in their own self-contained flats, while receiving intensive, relational and trauma-informed support. Based from King s Cross, you ll work across the community and in people s homes, carrying a small caseload so you can offer flexible, persistent and person-centred support that is shaped around each person s strengths, safety, needs and goals. You ll build trust with people who may have had difficult experiences of services, working at their pace while keeping a strong focus on housing sustainment, wellbeing, risk, choice and recovery. You won t be doing this work alone. You ll be part of a multidisciplinary team and will work closely with statutory services, housing partners and specialist colleagues including health, psychology, Solace, occupational therapy and perpetrator support. With safety at the heart of the work, you ll play a key role in supporting people where relationships, trauma, exploitation, abuse or external risk may be part of their lives. At SHP, you ll also have access to learning, reflective practice and development opportunities that help you keep growing your skills while doing meaningful, complex and life-changing About you: You have experience supporting people facing multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, trauma, mental ill health, substance use, contact with the criminal justice system or long-term exclusion from services. You know how to build trust with people who may be wary of services, using patience, consistency and creativity to keep people engaged without forcing change before they are ready. You understand the links between severe and multiple disadvantage, VAWG, coercion, abuse, exploitation and safety, and you can respond in a way that is trauma-informed, boundaried and safeguarding-focused. You are a confident advocate and communicator, able to work with partners, negotiate well, challenge when needed and keep the person s voice at the centre. You are organised and self-sufficient in your day-to-day work, with the written, IT and recording skills needed to manage a caseload, update systems clearly and keep support plans moving.
