Support Worker, Mental Health

Overview

We are a well-established, nationwide healthcare provider. Our homes specialize in mental health services for adults, offering person‑centred care. We carefully develop and adapt homes to meet the varying needs of adults with mental health needs. The services are located within thriving communities, providing educational, recreational, and social activities that positively impact the experience of people with mental health difficulties who may be experiencing emotional distress.

This primarily involves support using a person‑centred approach. Our support workers measure outcomes specifically to an individual's needs and evidence using our person‑centred outcome‑measuring tool. Successful candidates will be required to complete an enhanced DBS disclosure prior to commencement of employment; the disclosure expense will be met by the employer.

Being a support worker is very rewarding but also hard and challenging port workers need to be able to understand that not every day is going to be sunshine and smiles. Being able to watch and support the individuals makes those hard days a lot easier. Seeing people be able to live independently and thrive in life is a reward in itself.

No two days are the same; you will face and overcome many challenges, but the rewards are priceless.
