Home, a place where you belong
Want to be part of a team that really cares and empowers you to help change a customer’s life for the better? As our Support Coordinator leading on customer activities and engagement, you’ll be at the heart of supporting our customers to develop their skills and confidence to live independently.
This is a new role, so you really do have a chance to make your mark in it! The success of the first six months will determine whether we decide to make the role permanent.
You will be working as part of the team for Mary Rose Court which sits within Basingstoke Social Inclusion Pathway. We provide accommodation and support for customers who have been or are at risk of homelessness.
Typical day as a Lead Support Worker
- Talking and listening to customers individually and in small groups about their experiences and about what activities could increase their confidence and skills.
- Building on these to recommend ways we can improve service delivery.
- Using the tools that Home Group have to enhance customer experience such as our Home Achievement programme and LIFE support planning to meet these.
- Facilitating other activities that customers suggest. This could be around cooking, playing board games, starting special interest groups or going on local walks but you will decide this in collaboration with them!
- Supporting colleagues to complete risk assessments, support plans, goal setting and regular reviews reflecting the work you are doing.
