About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

As a Support Worker / Tutor within the Clarendon Recovery College, you will play a key role in delivering a socially inclusive, education‑based approach to mental health recovery. You will co‑produce and deliver engaging courses alongside co‑trainers, supporting adults in their journey towards improved wellbeing and independence. The role combines teaching, support and coordination — from developing course content and leading sessions to supporting students with learning plans and monitoring outcomes. You will also provide day‑to‑day guidance to students, encouraging participation in education, employment and community activities, while ensuring all administrative and programme delivery standards are met.

About the team

You will be part of the Clarendon Recovery College, a collaborative and forward‑thinking service within Adults, Health and Communities. The team works in partnership with professionals and individuals with lived experience of mental health challenges, using a co‑production model to design and deliver meaningful learning opportunities. You will work closely with colleagues, co‑trainers and external organisations such as colleges, employers and community services to support students’ progress and access to wider opportunities. The environment is supportive, inclusive and focused on empowering people through learning and recovery.

About you

You will have experience working with individuals or groups in a mental health, community, education or support setting, with a strong understanding of the challenges people may face during mental health recovery. You are an excellent communicator, able to engage, motivate and support a diverse range of individuals, and you are confident working collaboratively as part of a team. Organised and proactive, you can manage your workload effectively, maintain accurate records and contribute to programme development. Most importantly, you will be passionate about supporting others, promoting inclusion and helping people achieve positive outcomes through education and personal development.
