Recovery Support Worker

If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in helping others feel more confident and capable, you’ll love what this role is all about. As a Recovery Support Worker, it’s all about supporting people on their wellness journey, where no two days are the same. Some days you’ll help with medication, daily routines, other days you’ll be running a small group activity or helping someone plan their next steps. You’ll support consumers in building confidence and skills for independence — skills such as cooking, budgeting, or making everyday decisions that foster confidence and independence. You’ll also keep clear notes and follow policies and procedures, so everyone’s support stays consistent and safe. This role suits someone who’s patient, calm under pressure, and can think on their feet. You’re the kind of person who sees potential in people and brings out the best in them, someone who is caring, compassionate, and not afraid to try new ideas to help others grow. A day on the job will see you: Develop and review individual support plans that are recovery-focused and trauma-informed. Work collaboratively with clients to set goals, celebrate progress, and build confidence. Support clients to develop practical skills for independent living, community participation, personal choice and decision-making, managing accommodation, and enhancing overall wellbeing. Assist with medication management using a respectful, adult-to-adult approach. Maintain accurate and up-to-date case notes and client documentation. Facilitate group programs and activities that promote connection and recovery.
