Support Workers, Mental Health

Overview

We re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support. As a support worker with us you ll help people gain more independence in their daily lives, while working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people. Our supported living service in Bolton is a welcoming and friendly environment, and you can be sure that no two days will be the same.

You ll enhance the lives of the people we support by teaching them new life skills, assisting with personal care, encouraging them to access their local communities, socialising and doing activities. One day you could be out with the people we support in local bars and pubs, and the next you could be unwinding with them playing video games, watching films or going to the cinema.

This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference to someone s life and to help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, whether this be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.

We re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. This is why at this service our Support Workers should hold a full UK driving license, be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach, have experience with following Positive Behaviour Support plans and reflective practice as well as experience working with individuals requiring enhanced support, including behaviours of distress, mental health conditions, autism, forensic histories and people who have experienced trauma.

We embrace people s differences and encourage you to Be You, and so long as you ve got the passion to make someone s life better, we can give you all the skills and development opportunities you need to build a great career. We encourage our staff to Grow Together through our excellent training programme, starting at induction and following you through your career, with opportunity for promotion and progression as well as job security in a sector leading organisation.
