With the objective of supporting and developing trauma-informed cultural shift, with a focus on psychological safety for all and provision of reflective spaces where people have the opportunity to reframe and reconsider narratives around complexity and trauma.
The Recovery Education Centre provides co-produced and co-delivered courses to people within Dorset within a further education model. Central to the philosophy of the Recovery Education Centre is the idea that "individuals and communities hold their own solutions". Therefore the purpose of our courses is to create a learning environment where people are able to understand how best to support their own recovery and the recovery of other people. The role includes co-producing and co-delivering courses with peer specialists, providing contemporary specialist advice on areas of new developments, best practice and initiatives in Trauma-informed care and Recovery Education.
Our main office base is in Bournemouth, however, the service is pan Dorset and so travel is essential to the role.
