Home, a place where you belong
Want to be part of a team that truly cares, not only about our customers, but about you too? Our colleagues tell us that working here feels different. We’re brilliant at what we do, and we look after each other just as much as we support our customers. If you’ve ever felt like just a number in your current job, this could be the change you’ve been waiting for.
You’ll help people with complex needs live more independently, where no two days are the same. One moment you’re helping someone take a big step towards their goals, the next you’re supporting them through life’s everyday ups and downs.
What you’ll do
• Lead support planning
• Balance support, safeguarding, admin and meetings while guiding colleagues and managing caseloads
• Support Customers with daily tasks like budgeting, cooking and attending appointments
• Work with multi-agency teams to safeguard and empower our customers
• Help customers build independence and prepare for their move-on into the community
Why join us
This is more than a job, it’s a place where you feel valued. You get great training, support from friendly colleagues and a chance to make a real difference every day. Be part of one of the UK’s top 10 Great Places to Work!
You have
• Passion and experience in supporting others ideally in a supported housing setting
• Experience assessing referrals and coordinating support
• The ability to work under your own initiative, remain calm under pressure and have a resilient approach
Stronger together
We do our best work when we’re ourselves. That’s why inclusion, wellbeing, and our diversity networks help make Home Group a great place to work!
The practical bits
• You’ll work 8am - 8pm (3 days one week and 4 days the next week). One and a half weekends per month.
• You will be based at Railway Terrace but conduct link works in the community.
• You need an Enhanced with barring list (we pay)
What’s in it for you?
• 34 days leave, rising to 39 including bank holidays and a “me day”
• Health cash plan saving you (and your children) £1140+ each year covering dental, opticians, prescriptions and more
• Matching pension contribution (up to 7% and life insurance of 3x basic salary)
• Instant pay access with Stream
• 800+ discounts on shops, holidays, days out, tech and more
