Typical day as our Support Worker:

1. Assisting customers with practical, daily living tasks to develop their independence, helping them to achieve the goals, aspirations, and outcomes documented in their support plans.
2. Working in a recovery-focused environment with individuals with Mental Health.
3. Helping customers with daily living activities such as making meals, shopping, budgeting, maintaining their tenancy, and moving onto independent accommodation if they are able.
4. Carrying out risk assessments, support planning, goal setting, and regular reviews.
5. Cuppas, chats, and catch-ups.

2. Experience of caring for others; you may have worked in care before or have experience of caring for others such as family members or children.
3. The ability to work on your own initiative, remain calm under pressure, and have a resilient approach.
4. Recognize every customer is different and you’re able to adopt a flexible, personal approach, listening to customers to understand their needs.

Due to limits on our current certificates of sponsorship, we are not able to offer sponsorship to external candidates for this role. This remains under regular review.

You’ll join our team, who come from different walks of life and are here to support you as you make yourself at Home!

Job details:

1. Where we’re flexible with you, we do need to meet the needs of our customers. That may mean adapting your start or finishing times on occasion.
2. You will work on a 4-week rolling rota, so you'll always know when you're in work.
3. Able to use technology to update support plans, complete online learning, and collaborate with colleagues.
4. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check done, and we pay for that.

What’s in it for you?
