About the Role
As a Recovery Support Worker, you will provide person-centred, safe, and compassionate care to individuals within the Trust. You will use your knowledge and experience to make evidence-based decisions and solve problems in the best interests of those you support. Your role involves monitoring the health and condition of patients continuously, working in partnership with patients, families, and carers. Effective communication with colleagues and patients is essential, including providing clear verbal, digital, or written information and instructions. You will contribute to the development of care plans that reflect patient needs, working collaboratively with the multidisciplinary team and significant others. You will also be responsible for recognizing and reporting any situations or behaviours that could lead to poor care outcomes and ensuring all necessary paperwork for discharge or transfers is completed safely and timely. Maintaining patient dignity, respect, and equality is paramount in all aspects of your work. You will escalate any concerns to relevant healthcare professionals as required.
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Job Applications
If you have used AI to support your application, please briefly indicate how it was used within your supporting statement or application form. The Trust encourages applicants to complete their applications in their own words to best reflect their skills, experience, and motivation. AI tools may assist with accessibility and improving spelling, grammar, and structure; however, applications relying heavily on AI-generated content may appear generic and not accurately represent individual experience. Applications that clearly demonstrate your own voice and reflections are most effective and help the selection process. Please ensure all information provided is accurate and may be explored further during selection.
