We are looking for an empathetic and well-organised Support Officer to join our Supported Living team for 12 months.
You’ll work as part of a long-standing team, providing an effective, customer focused support service for residents within the
Supported Living Service encompassing schemes for those over 60.
You will need to liaise with relatives, statutory and voluntary agencies to enable service users to receive the support they need
to maintain their independence.
You will be expected to provide a service in line with mhs homes’ policies and procedure and fulfil the criteria of the Quality
Assessment Framework for the Housing Related Support agenda, and be responsible for the administration and day to day management
of the schemes.
About you:
* We’re looking for somebody who is highly motivated, hardworking and a strong team player
* You’ll need to be organised and efficient, be able to work quickly and accurately under pressure and be adaptable to changing
and challenging roles - no two days are the same
* Experience of working with older people is desirable but not essential. Previous floating support experience would also be very
helpful
* You’ll need to be able to communicate with people from all walks of life and be able to work on your own as well as be part of
the team
* You must also have a full valid UK driving licence and ownership of a car is essential
* An enhanced level DBS check will be required, but this will be arranged by mhs homes
We offer:
* A performance based annual bonus + pension contributions matched up to 6%
* 28 days holiday + bank holidays and the option to buy/sell holiday
* Training & Development and opportunities for continuing professional development
* A great team of colleagues to work with
* Regular charitable events and a range of wellbeing activities
* Enhanced family leave policies
* A really competitive package of flexible employee benefits including a cycle to work scheme
* Free parking
* Access to two holiday homes (in Dorset and Norfolk)
