Make a Real Difference Every Day
At Lifeways, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling, independent life. At The Royd, we support adults with mental health needs to move forward on their recovery journey, develop confidence, and build meaningful connections within their community.

This isn't just a care role. It's an opportunity to encourage, empower and inspire people as they work towards greater independence and achieve personal goals that matter to them.

Whether you're experienced in care or looking for a rewarding new career, if you're compassionate, positive, and committed to helping others, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join The Royd?
At The Royd, you'll become part of a welcoming team that genuinely cares about the people we support and each other. Every day brings new opportunities to make a lasting difference.

We Offer:

• Competitive pay, including enhanced sleep-in payments
• Refer-a-Friend bonus scheme
• Free enhanced DBS check
• Full induction and ongoing training
• Career development opportunities
• 28 days annual leave (pro rata)
• NEST Pension Scheme
• Bike2Work Scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Discounts with major retailers, supermarkets, travel and leisure providers
• A supportive and friendly team environment where your contribution is valued

What You'll Be Doing
As a Recovery Support Worker, you'll support people to:

• Develop independent living skills
• Build confidence and self-esteem
• Access education, training, employment and community activities
• Manage daily routines and responsibilities
• Work towards personal recovery goals
• Maintain positive relationships with family, friends and support networks

Most importantly, you'll be helping people discover what they can achieve with the right support and encouragement.

What We're Looking For
We welcome applications from people with a genuine passion for supporting others. You may already have experience in care, support work or mental health services, but experience isn't essential. What matters most is your attitude, empathy and willingness to learn.

You'll need:

• A caring and positive approach
• Excellent communication skills
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Good IT skills, including email and Microsoft Word
• A calm, professional and reliable manner
• An understanding of mental health and the challenges people may face

A Health & Social Care qualification is beneficial but not essential, as we will support you with training and development.
