Job Description

Support Worker

Permanent, Full time 37.5 hpw.

Up to £19,200 per annum, depending on experience

Plus brilliant benefits!

 

Seeing Anthony ready to take on the world. Thats when it hits home.

 

We have a fabulous opportunity for you to join our awesome team. We support our brilliant customers to maintain a supported tenancy with the aim that they will be empowered to move on into their own independent accommodation. This role focuses on supporting with maintaining a tenancy and living as independently as possible.  Our aim is to deliver long-term positive solutions for the people we work with and measure our success not by the number of people we support, but through the outcome of our care.  

 

We use an asset based approach to help our customers to build their own personal resilience, improve lifestyle choices and prepare for independence by building on their own individual skills. We work alongside our customers around their housing and health goals, and you will be helping customers to identify where they are in their life and where they would like to be and then supporting them to work towards achieving their goals.

 

Customer quotes

€œI really enjoyed the cooking healthy on a budget session and will definitely be making it again.€

 

€œIve signed up to do the HAP course because I know it will help me to become more independent and I want to be able to do things for myself.€

 

About our team

Youll be working alongside our fabulous team, who are super passionate about supporting customers to reach their goals and celebrating their achievements. To us were not just a team were a €œwork family€. Our manager is Karen, who has worked in this sector for 15 years, working her way from support worker to managing the services so she knows a thing or two about supported housing!

When not supporting her customers with their aspirations, Karen can be found stewarding for AMCA motocross (motorbikes to you or I!). There are 5 of us in the team, including Izzy whos been with us for over a decade described by Karen as her €œright arm€ and the €œfont of all knowledge€ - so you know who to approach for all those burning questions.

 

Working hours

The office is open Monday to Friday between 9am to 5pm, but there may be a need to work flexibly if customers are at college or in employment.

 

About you

Youre passionate and motivated to help vulnerable people make positive and lasting changes to their lives. Youll impress us with your ability to work on your own initiative, positively influencing people from all different backgrounds.  We have an in-house accredited course to offer our customers, which you will be involved with running.  Youll be imaginative and energised while remaining professional, strategic and outcomes focused, building on your confidence and skills to deliver a brilliant service to brilliant people.  Its a great opportunity to work in a very diverse and exciting service!

 

To make sure that we keep our records straight, and customers safe, it's really important that you are technologically savvy (or at the very least not a technophobe!) Youll be given the latest IT kit, which could include a Surface Pro tablet and smart phone, supported by our new online integrated IT system which means that you dont have to be in the office as you can complete support plans on the go. 

 

It would be amazing if you have worked in this type of environment before, however its your €œcan do€ positive attitude and enthusiasm that are critical to make this role a success. We can nurture your talent, just let us know in your cover letter why you have a passion for working here!

 

As the service is over three properties, you could be travelling to spend time with your customers. The properties are only a mile or two apart so you could do this role using public transport, walking, or if you drive and have access to a car that would also be amazing! We pay your expenses to cover this use but we dont have parking at our main office! 

 

When you join, youll need to have a valid Enhanced Check under the Disclosure and Barring Service. The great news is that we will pay for that to be done if you dont have a transferrable one.
