Empowering customers to live rewarding and happy lives. Thats when it hits home.
 
We have fabulous opportunity for you to join our awesome team. We support our brilliant customers who have varying mental health support needs.  Some of our customers can have extremely complex needs, which may not have been diagnosed yet.  Colleagues identify and manage risks to ensure that customers get the right support they need to move on successfully living independently in the community.
Our customers either live in a supported accommodation which consists of 19 self-contained flats in Handsworth Birmingham, or across Birmingham in their own properties and we support them in a community based setting.

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 work family. Our manager is Joel who has recently joined Home Group (so he knows what its like to be new!) He's a warm-hearted brummie with a passion for football!  There are 12 of us in the team and we dont just love to support our customers, were there for each other too!
 
Working hours
Youll work on a rota basis between the hours of 08:00 and 20:00 during the week and  between 09:00 and 17:00 on weekends.  You'll take your turn working days, evenings, weekends and bank holidays. We need you to be flexible to meet the needs of our customers, but we aim to give you the time you need to spend time doing the things that matter to you!
 
About you

Youll impress us with your ability to work on your own initiative, positively influencing people from all different backgrounds.  You will have experience in safeguarding, risk assessments, confidentiality, support plans, alongside working collaboratively. 


We help change our customers lives for the better. Youll play your part by assisting in the delivery of tasks that are based on our customers personal support plans, and their needs and aspirations. Youll work with our Senior Support Workers and external agencies to assess and engage support for our customers. We empower our customers to develop the independent living skills they need, to successfully move on. Together well make a difference!


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!) 


To make sure our customers are well supported, its important that you have worked in a supported housing environment before. Dont worry, we wont drop you in the deep end, well help to you understand how things work at Home Group!


As part of this role is community based, youll need to travel around to spend time with your customers. You could do this role using public transport, or if you drive and have access to a car that would also be amazing! (we pay your expenses to cover this use!)
