About the role

The role of the Support Worker is to provide specialist expertise and support to facilitate teams in achieving person-centred outcomes for the people we support, some of whom have profound and complex needs, to maximise the individual’s independence and enable them to be active in their communities.

The service provides accommodation-based support for women experiencing mental health challenges. The people we support are encouraged to develop and maintain their independence while receiving support in areas where they may need additional help. This can include managing benefits, self-medication, cooking, budgeting, maintaining relationships with family and professionals, looking after their health and wellbeing, and engaging with their local community.

Support is tailored to each person's individual needs and focuses on helping them feel safe, well, and confident enough to progress in their recovery. The overall aim is to build independence and support women to move on successfully to the least restrictive setting that meets their needs.

Duties will include

• Making a difference in the lives of those you support
• Helping to use a range of recovery-oriented and person-centred planning tools
• Ensuring all plans and records relating to the people we support are accurate and up to date
• Supporting everyday tasks to maximise the individual’s independence
• Working in a consistent and positive way with local managers and other team members to ensure people get a great service
• Undertaking various levels of personal care and manual handling

About you

• Keep calm and confident in challenging situations
• Have a good understanding of keeping people safe and protecting them from any form of abuse
• Have a good understanding the challenges that are likely to be faced by people with mental health
• Have a good understanding of accountability, confidentiality, and professional boundaries

You will be given training, development and coaching to help you feel confident in providing great support and to help you advance in your career.
