Your Next Role!

As a Recovery Support Worker, you'll walk alongside people at risk of homelessness, transitioning from acute mental health services, and/or receiving support through community mental health services.

• Maintaining accurate records, outcome measures, and client documentation.
• Working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to support positive client outcomes.
