Job Description
At Lifeways, we provide specialist support and recovery services for people with enduring mental health needs. Our work focuses on helping individuals transition from institutional environments back into their own homes and communities. Every person’s situation is unique, so we tailor our approach to ensure the support we offer is truly person‑centred.
To continue delivering this high‑quality support, we’re looking for people who share our commitment to empowering others. Being part of the Lifeways team is incredibly rewarding, and we welcome individuals who are keen to grow both personally and professionally.
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.
About The Role
We are seeking caring, honest and innovative individuals to join our dedicated team of Recovery Support Workers within our Enhanced Community Recovery supported living service in Barnsley. In this role, you will work closely with clients to promote independence, build confidence and support their ongoing recovery journey.
Shift pattern
Full flexibility is needed to work early, late, and sleep-in shifts on a rota basis Monday to Sunday.
About You
You must have previous experience supporting people with mental health needs. You understand the challenges faced by people living with mental health conditions and are committed to providing compassionate, recovery‑focused support. You have strong communication skills, both written and verbal. You are confident using IT systems, including Word, databases and email. An NVQ/QCF in Health & Social Care is an advantage, but not essential
