Are you passionate about mental health recovery and social inclusion?
For nearly 50 years, Restore has supported communities across Oxfordshire to thrive as a leading local mental health charity. As a Recovery Outreach Worker, you’ll bring recovery support directly into communities—building trust, increasing access, and co-creating meaningful activities that reflect local strengths and lived experience. If you’re driven by values, connection, and impact, this role offers the opportunity to help people shape brighter futures.
About the Role
You will:
- Proactively reach and engage under-engaged and marginalised communities through relationship-led, culturally attuned outreach.
- Co-design and deliver place-based recovery activities with community members, ensuring they reflect local strengths, cultural norms, and lived voices.
- Facilitate one-to-one and group support, using flexible, identity-affirming methods aligned with lived experience and diverse learning styles.
- Support individuals in setting and achieving meaningful goals, promoting autonomy, independence, and inclusion.
- Collaborate with individuals, families, carers, and community networks, recognising personal preferences and cultural perspectives.
- Embed safe, trauma-informed practice, ensuring dignity, empowerment, and confidentiality are upheld.
- Maintain clear, person-centred records and contribute to service improvement, safeguarding, and quality assurance.
