Recovery College Development Worker

RAMH is delighted to be working in partnership with South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) to establish and develop the new South Ayrshire Wellbeing & Recovery College, building on RAMH's established, award-winning Recovery College Model. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new team and help shape a Recovery College that will make a meaningful difference to individuals and communities across South Ayrshire.

At the heart of our approach is a belief that everyone has strengths, aspirations and the ability to shape their own recovery. Through learning, shared experiences, peer support and community connections, the Recovery College will create opportunities for people to build confidence, develop new skills, strengthen their wellbeing and take positive steps towards the things that matter to them. There are three strands to the new service, self-management recovery focussed courses, post diagnostic support training for individuals and their carers and an educational offering to support people to gain and retain their housing tenancies.

We are looking for enthusiastic, creative and committed individuals who share our passion for mental health recovery, co-production and community development. We value people who bring different experiences, skills and perspectives, who enjoy working collaboratively and who believe in the potential of individuals and communities to create positive change. Working alongside students, people with lived and living experience, colleagues and community partners, you will help develop a welcoming, inclusive and accessible Recovery College that reflects the strengths, needs and aspirations of South Ayrshire's communities.

There will be learning opportunities to visit the established North Ayrshire Wellbeing & Recovery College and a full induction and team building for the new staff team. This is more than an opportunity to join a new service. It is a chance to help build something from the beginning, bringing your own ideas, experience and enthusiasm to the next RAMH Wellbeing & Recovery College.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative Recovery College Development Worker who has experience of recovery-focused practice, adult learning or community-based education, and a genuine interest in helping people recognise their strengths and achieve their aspirations. This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping the Recovery College curriculum, developing and delivering learning opportunities alongside students, tutors, peers and community partners.

You will help create a varied and engaging programme of courses that promotes wellbeing, confidence, self-management and personal recovery. Working through co-production, you will ensure that students and people with lived experience are actively involved in shaping what the Recovery College offers and how learning is delivered. We are particularly interested in someone who can bring fresh ideas, creativity and experience of facilitating learning, while recognising the value of shared experiences and peer-led approaches.

You will help create a Wellbeing & Recovery College where learning builds hope, develops confidence and opens doors to new opportunities.

You will have an opportunity to help shape a new Recovery College, amplify students' voices and create pathways into learning, volunteering, peer work, employment and community life. RAMH values lived experience. Applicants will not be required to disclose personal health information during recruitment.

At RAMH, we believe recovery is about more than managing mental health challenges. It is about hope, opportunity, connection and having the confidence to build a meaningful and…
