We are a unique service which offers enhanced care to our Service Users to continue with their rehabilitation journey, including physical health monitoring with support from local medical services. Each service is a large residential house with an office and is where you will help our Service Users to carry out routine daily tasks – everything from help with cooking, cleaning, activities in the community and encouraging independent living in their future.

You will join the qualified and experienced team that supports people with mental health conditions. We are a step-down service between Three Valleys Hospital and Independent Living, supporting service users who are ready to leave the hospital setting but do not quite have the full life skills to live on their own in the community. Whether you have been a Healthcare Assistant, Support Worker or a Care Worker, you can utilise your experience to support people to lead a valued and fulfilled life. We have a 4-tier working structure and all Senior Support Workers are on one level. You will report to a Team Leader with the Registered Manager and Deputy on site daily who can be approached for support, questions and anything else you will need. The last staff survey identified that at our staff answered yes to the question ‘I feel well supported by my line manager. You will work across all four houses and encourage our Service Users to lead a full and valued life, helping them to live more independently, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important.
