Main duties of the job

Our Recovery Workers play a vital role in supporting clients to identify their goals, ambitions, and passions.

You will manage an active caseload, connecting quickly with clients and ensuring they're always treated with respect and dignity. This role will specifically work within our Reset team, working with rough sleepers and those at risk of homelessness within the Shropshire area.

This position is offered on a full time, fixed term basis, until March 2028. Some Saturday working will be required to meet the needs of the service and due to the community-based nature of this role, you will need to hold a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
