We are Hestia. We make a difference.

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Support Worker to play a pivotal role in our Complex Needs Service in Croydon.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

Empower a caseload of service users to manage their health and wellbeing. As part of a team, you will support a staffing rota offering support to service users between the hours of 8am-10pm Mon-Sun each week. In collaboration with your team, you will actively monitor wellbeing, mental health, housing and living environment to ensure service users journey into independence. Moreover, you will take a solution focused and co-produced approach to supporting service users with their move-on into independent living.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

Here's what the team will be looking for

I bring experience supporting individuals with mental health and dual diagnosis issues, both in paid and voluntary roles. I am quick to learn, able to gather and process information accurately, and share it appropriately within confidentiality guidelines. With a calm, non-judgmental, and anti-discriminatory approach, I effectively manage challenging behavior and help defuse difficult situations. I remain optimistic about people's capacity for change and use a solution-focused, collaborative mindset to support progress. Comfortable working in high-pressure or chaotic environments, I adapt well to team rotas, including early, late, and occasional weekend shifts. I also have a strong understanding of safeguarding and respond to concerns appropriately.
