As our Support Worker, you’ll be at the heart of supporting our customers who have complex mental health needs and secondary diagnosis of either a learning disability, autism spectrum or neurological condition.

• Helping customers with daily living activities such as making meals, shopping, budgeting, maintaining their tenancy and moving onto independent accommodation if they are able.
• supporting customers to access the community for an activity of their choice, including a trip to the beach, cinema or picnic in the park.
• Support with a customer’s volunteer placement, medication administration, maintaining their tenancy or organising a communal activity in the service!
• Carrying out risk assessments, support planning, goal setting and regular reviews.
• Cuppas, chats and catch ups. There’s no rushing from one customer to the next here! Plenty of time to work together with colleagues too.
Fancy going home each day knowing that you have helped change our customers lives for the better? You’ll do that here, working for one of the Top Ten Great Places to Work in the UK!
