• Understanding and following risk assessments and support reviews.
• Completing detailed support plans and setting personalised, achievable goals with customers. Supporting customers to work on their goals each week, helping to build confidence and achieve meaningful progress.
• General office duties and paperwork, responding to safeguarding incidents, ensuring the service remains fully compliant with health and safety requirements.
• 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.
• You will need a good knowledge of computer systems as most of our documents are online.
• There is no personal care required for this role just practical and emotional support.
• You will not need any experience handling medications as we are not a CQC service.
