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 a motivated, creative and community-minded Outreach Worker who understands the importance of local relationships and the particular opportunities and challenges of working across rural communities.
This is an opportunity to help develop the South Ayrshire Wellbeing & Recovery College across South Carrick and surrounding rural areas, ensuring that people can access recovery-focused learning and wellbeing opportunities regardless of where they live.
You will work closely with local organisations, community groups, health and social care partners and people with lived experience to build relationships, identify local strengths and develop opportunities that respond to the needs and aspirations of rural communities.
We are particularly interested in someone who enjoys community development, understands the importance of reducing isolation and can find creative ways of overcoming barriers such as transport, confidence and access to services.
You will help connect students with local learning, volunteering, social and community activities, supporting meaningful opportunities for recovery and participation beyond the College. You will have a role in developing and delivering a training course for individuals to sustain their tenancies.
This is an opportunity to help bring recovery education into the heart of rural communities, building on existing local strengths and creating new connections, opportunities and possibilities.
Why join RAMH?
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.
Be Part of Something New
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 fulfilling life.
Our award-winning Wellbeing & Recovery College Model has shown that transformational change can be achieved when people with lived experience, a Recovery College team and community partners work together as equals.
Now, in partnership with South Ayrshire HSCP, we have an exciting opportunity to build on that experience and develop a Recovery College shaped by the people and communities of South Ayrshire.
If you share our belief in recovery, enjoy working with people and communities, and want to contribute your ideas and experience to something new, we would welcome your application.
