Our Team support are the €œSwiss Army Knife€ of support, we step in and help run our services when colleagues are on leave, absent through sickness or in emergency situations.

Youll have the chance to support our customers who have a wide range of needs across a number of specialised services. One day you might be supporting a customer with personal care in our Wallsend service, the next you might be working closely with our clinicians to get the best out of a customer with complex mental health needs.

 

The great news is that you will never get bored, as no day is the same. That does mean that you need to be super adaptable and flexible in regards to your approach to work, as youll work wherever the business needs your support.

So although we need you to be flexible, we aim to let you know in advance, so you can plan your life! Currently we have every other weekend off.

Youll impress us with your ability to work on your own initiative, positively influencing people from all different backgrounds. You will have some 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, their needs and aspirations.

However were glad to support you, if you need help. 

 

Finally, as youll travel around the area to work in our services, it would be amazing if you drive and have access to a car (we pay your expenses to cover this use!). If you dont drive, then dont worry as most of our services are easy reached on public transport.
