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 and coordinate our Support Workers to deliver person-centred support
• 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
• Bosvean is a service providing self-contained accommodation in the community for people (customers) with eligible health and social care needs in Cornwall.
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
• Level 3 Diploma in Care or equivalent experience (or are willing to work towards it)
• 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 will work Monday to Friday between 09.00 and 17.00. The majority of your work will be undertaken in the service, but you may be required to travel for team meetings, training etc.
• Although you’ll work lone work on occasion, we do get together regularly for training and team meetings
• In addition, housing management, health coach and concierge staff work at the service throughout the week and you will work alongside them at times.
• You need an Enhanced with barring list (we pay)
• A vehicle insured for business use and a valid driving license. We’ll pay for any business mileage
What’s in it for you?
• 34 days leave (including bank hols and a “me day” to use for whatever you fancy) increasing to 39, and time off for volunteering too!
• Health cash plan saving you from £1140 per annum. We’ll cover your costs (and kids if you have them) towards dental, optical, prescriptions, alternative therapies and lots 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
