Senior Support Worker
It’s a passion, not just a job
Our great people help make us the best and through their true passion, commitment and enthusiasm, deliver aspirational support to our customers every day.
We are looking for an energised and passionate Project Worker like you to join our service which provides support to our supported living customers. You will provide support to homeless males with a variety of support needs.
As a Support Co-Ordinator you will manage a caseload of customers, working closely with external agencies and our amazing team of Support Workers in delivering person centred support. We know that one size doesn’t fit all, so our customers lead their own support every step of the way. Together you will really make a difference, empowering our customers to achieve their goals and aspirations as outlined in their support plans and develop the independent living skills they need to successfully move on with a positive future.
You will help shape our services, undertake risk assessments, support planning, goal setting and regular reviews. You’ll also guide and allocate tasks to our Support Workers too. It’s really important to us that you have time to what you are really passionate about; making a real difference to our customers lives. So to free up your time, you’ll be given the latest IT kit, which could include a Surface Pro tablet and smart phone, supported by our new online integrated IT system which means that you don’t have to be in the office as you can complete support plans on the go. You’ll also be paid between customer visit and for your mileage too.
This is no boring desk job! You’ll go home each day knowing that you’ve made an amazing difference to vulnerable peoples’ lives. How amazing that!
A bit about you
You’ll be super energised about being part of our service and keen to make your own mark! Passionate and motivated, you’ll demonstrate empathy and creativity in your approach, using your awesome skills to enable customers to reach their full potential.
You’ll have previous experience of working with vulnerable people in a support or care environment, a great understanding of professional boundaries, safeguarding, risk assessment, confidentiality and be experienced in case management. It’s also important that you can work in holistic way building partnerships with external agencies and that you have strong IT skills too.
The great news is that this isn’t a normal 9-5 job, you will work across a seven day rota including weekends and evenings.
If you are successful, we need you to have an Enhanced Disclosure Check through the Disclosure and Barring Service which we’ll pay for.
