Job Description

Croft House is part of Lifeways’ Specialist Integrated Living (SIL) service, supporting individuals transitioning from institutional care to independent living. You’ll play a vital role in helping people with complex mental health needs—including those on the forensic pathway or with personality disorders—live with choice, opportunity, and hope.

Shift pattern

  • This is a full-time 37.5-hour vacancy.
  • Full flexibility is needed to work early, late, and sleep-in shifts on a rota basis Monday to Sunday.

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 Preston. In this role, you will work closely with clients to promote independence, build confidence and support their ongoing recovery journey.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
