Specialist Recovery Practitioner
We are recruiting for a Specialist Recovery Practitioner with the North Bristol Assessment and Recovery Team.
We are a welcoming and supportive team based in The Greenway Centre. We cover the Northern area of Bristol localities and support a diverse local population presenting with complex mental health and social care needs.
About the Role
We are looking for a Specialist Recovery Practitioner with a passion for delivering high quality recovery focused interventions in a community setting.
We can consider applicants for both full time (37.5hrs) and part time positions.
This post is open to newly qualified social workers. In line with trust policy, all newly qualified social workers will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSWs are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case it may be agreed to extend this for a further 2 years.
On successful completion of the ASYE, for which you will be given full support of an experienced Social Worker as well as Divisional Social Work Lead, and peer support from other ASYE candidates, you will then be eligible to progress to a Band 6 position.
If you have been appointed to an advertised Band 6 role this will be an automatic progression, following confirmation of your successful completion. If you have been appointed to a Band 5 you will then be eligible to apply for a subsequent Band 6 vacancy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities
The post holder will focus on high quality assessment of service users and delivery of focused recovery based interventions. You will be required to contribute towards the planning, implementation and review of care alongside a multi-disciplinary team.

All Specialist Recovery Practitioners may at times be required to undertake both assessment and care coordination dependant on the needs of the team.
Benefits
You can expect to receive excellent supervision and there will be opportunities for career development and training in order to support you in this role.
