Welcome to Richmond Fellowship’s Leecroft House as a Recovery Worker.

Right now, our 24 hour Supported Housing service in Barnet is looking for someone like you to support the people who use our services to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community.

In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.
