The Community Rehabilitation

Service is an innovative and award winning  service provided by Second Step in partnership with Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust and Missing Link.  Shaped by people who have used mental health services, the Community Rehabilitation Service gives people the support they need to achieve their hopes and goals. 

Recovery Navigators work with people with long-term mental health and complex needs. The focus is in supporting people to gain the skills and confidence to live as independently as possible in the community. More information about the post is included in the role profile.

Second Step is a leading provider of mental health services.  We offer excellent training and support, and we acknowledge the commitment and dedication of our employees, which is the foundation of our success. We would like to hear from people who share the same beliefs and values.

You should have a commitment to recovery and work in a Trauma-informed way.

This is one of our staff member says about the service:

“Working in community rehabilitation has been so eye-opening and encouraging for me. It really aligns with my own values and allies people in their wellbeing journey by taking a person-centred approach. Being able to work with people for longer allows for trusting relationships to develop and to really meet people in our shared humanity. Accompanying them on their healing journey and re-engaging with life in the community, empowering independence and supporting them to engage with activities or places that bring them joy or a sense of meaning. This relationship focussed approach feels so important for the people we get to work with, especially given some of the traumatic experiences they have so often experienced. I love working in this team, the culture is so supportive in its nature and we are really encouraged to bring ourselves, our experiences and skills into our work. I have found lots of opportunities for growth and development and learn a lot from my colleagues as it’s a multi-disciplinary team and it’s great to have so many perspectives and professions in one service!’
