personally and professionally.

Passionate about people, you'll enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience, training and education you need to progress in your career with us. Everyday, our colleagues share their experience, knowledge and talents with the people they support. By living our values, they are helping to transform lives, one day at a time.

We are looking for caring, honest, innovative individuals to join our dedicated team of Mental Health Recovery Support colleagues to positively engage with our clients in our 'Enhanced Community Recovery’ supported living service in Scunthorpe.

At Lifeways we provide specialist support and recovery services for people with enduring mental health needs, supporting them in the transition from institutional environments back into their own home within the community. We know that every situation is unique. And regardless of the diagnosis, we always focus on each person’s situation - tailoring our approach to meet their unique needs.

This is a full time role; working 39.25 hours per week on a rota basis. Shifts include days, evenings, sleep ins and weekends. You will be based at one site although if you are interested there could be opportunity to travel to other schemes across the business.

Benefits include:

• Competitive rates of pay for Sleep In shifts
• Refer a Friend cash reward
• Free enhanced DBS check
• Paid online induction
• Professionally supportive team and employer
• 28 days annual leave
• Access to NEST Pension
• Bike 2 Work Scheme

About you, about the role:

You may already have experience of providing care to people with mental health support needs, although full training will be given to enable you to provide recovery-focused, person-centred support for our clients to live as independently as possible within the community.

You will already have an understanding of the needs of people living with mental health and its effects, the willingness to learn, have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and have good I.T. skills, including word, databases and e-mails. If you have an NVQ/QCF in Health & Social Care, that’s great! If not, we will support you in obtaining this and beyond.

We believe in equal access to opportunities and create environments where people feel valued and comfortable in being themselves at work. Our commitment to an inclusive community is shown by both our employee engagement and awareness initiatives and in how we empower people to do their best every day. This is reflected in our core values of Caring, Honest, One team, Innovative, Courageous and Equal = CHOICE. These values are firmly embedded in everything we do, guiding our culture and the behaviours we expect from each other so we can confidently move forward with one shared purpose, delivering exceptional care and support.

This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
