Current Job Vacancies
How you can join the team working across Devon for better mental health
Our current vacancies:
Recovery Practitioner (various localities)
Our Recovery Practitioners work alongside our Locality Managers to help deliver mental health and wellbeing support offers across Devon. The roles entail a range of responsibilities, from delivering 1:1 emotional support, facilitating psychoeducational courses and support groups, and liaising with colleagues in local primary care network (PCN) and community mental health teams (CMHTs). You will play a pivotal role in working alongside people with mental health challenges to help them navigate their own journey to recovery and positive mental wellbeing.
This particular round of recruitment is focused on roles to deliver group activity in the first instance although this may change depending on future service needs. Although we are recruiting for Ilfracombe, there may be opportunities to work additional hours at other drop-in locations across Devon from time to time.
Organisation: Shekinah Mission
Role type: Part-time (currently fixed-term until January 2025); currently 4 hours per week
Salary range: Up to £25,500 full-time equivalent (please see individual job listings for salary ranges)
Location: Ilfracombe and Holsworthy, North Devon; There may be opportunities to pick up additional hours at our other drop-ins across Devon.
Reflections from our staff:
“I enjoy working with people from all different walks of life and making genuine connections and changes to a client’s day-to-day life — whether that’s helping with a PIP application or helping them to understand their own mental health. It’s a great feeling knowing you’ve helped someone be heard and then continue to support them on their journey of recovery.”
“What I most enjoy about my role is the fact that no two days are the same. On a routine basis, I’ll be attending multi-agency meetings, recording stats, running a project, and attending reflective practices. With the clients, I’m working on dialectical behaviour therapy one minute, and the next minute an emergency housing situation or a PIP application.”
