Job description

Become a Support Worker with Active Prospects!

Location: Brighton, East Sussex

Salary: £12.75 per hour

Service Type: Adult Complex Care Service

Speciality: Mental Health, Autism, Learning Disability

Do you want to work for an award-winning company? We have recently won the Employer of the Year Award at the Learning Disabilities and Autism Awards 2023. We were also awarded UK's Best Workplaces 2024 by Great Places to Work UK! Our training team has received many national and regional awards and is regarded as outstanding by our colleagues.

Following our recent national award, the judges commented: ‘a very inspirational business that aims high to deliver excellence in all areas and supports people to lead aspiring lives. A strong family feel where staff are rewarded, valued, and supported to maximize their potential. Staff see opportunity which is harnessed to incredible effect. The business's passion and ambition shone through, making them worthy winners.’

Are you kind, compassionate, and passionate about empowering people to lead an aspiring life? Are you patient, resilient, and able to bring calm and consistency to individuals living independently for the first time? Our new service supports 4 people requiring emotional support, learning coping mechanisms, and expressing their true selves.

This role is about supporting individuals to live a gloriously ordinary life filled with opportunity, fun, and achievement of their goals. The role can be challenging, but the rewards are significant.

You will need to be adaptable, flexible, mature, and committed to helping our clients regain independence through empowerment, active support, positive risk-taking, and innovative thinking. Some individuals may self-harm, experience anxiety, or display behaviors of concern.

Currently, all supported individuals have several hours of 1:1 support during the day, along with shared support during day and night shifts. The ideal candidate has a passion for working with people with enduring mental health issues, an interest in the psychology of complex behaviors, and a willingness to learn and practice Positive Behaviour Support.

Active Prospects is recruiting for Day and Night Support Worker(s) to join our complex care service in Brighton, East Sussex.

The new Brighton service is conveniently located near public transport, with a short walk from bus stops and train stations. Drivers are welcome—free onsite parking is available.

In return, you will receive a competitive pay rate of £12.75 per hour, with additional pay on some bank holidays, enhanced pay when taking maternity, paternity, or adoption leave, and access to our Employee Assistance Programme, which offers free legal support and counseling. We support your professional development with opportunities to gain further qualifications in Social Care (levels 3 and 5). Career progression is encouraged, with 80% of our management team having started as Support Workers. We also offer financial rewards for successful recruitment referrals and foster an inclusive, friendly, and supportive environment for growth. Our comprehensive Induction Programme ensures all employees receive classroom and on-the-job training to prepare for their roles.
