Saffron Walden

£22,308

At Station Street, we support people across Hertfordshire with severe and enduring mental health needs. As a Care & Support Worker with a sector leader within mental health, you’ll make a real difference to their lives as you develop the personal, flexible, and recovery-focused support plans they need to help turn things around. Passionate about people, you’ll support them to take control, improve their quality of life and face the future with confidence.

Station Street provides residential rehabilitation for 5 people with a vast range of mental health problems.

Station Street caters for people aged from 18 and over male/female who have been diagnosed with severe and enduring mental illness and are on the enhanced level of the Care Programme Approach. Customers who have co-existing issues such as substance misuse or mild learning disabilities are not excluded from the service but will undergo a full assessment to determine whether we are able to provide appropriate support. Station Street is a purpose-built accommodation, providing individual rooms with shared dining and lounge areas and communal kitchens for customers to prepare their own meals.

You need to be flexible to work various shift patterns including late shifts, nights and weekends.

You would be required to work a rota system that includes, some, but not all weekends and bank holidays. Full time hours of 37.5 per week. Overtime is also available.

About us

Across the varied regions, sectors, and settings we operate within, our organisation is held together by a shared vision – and our people are connected by the same values. These include belief in potential, confidence in communication, embracing positive change and always treating each other as individuals. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support. Our people bring our vision to life. So, if you are enthusiastic, motivated, and committed to support others to fulfilling their potential, here at Metropolitan, we don't just offer you a job – we offer you a career.

The Ideal Candidate

A team player with lots of energy, you’ll also need the strong communication skills, flexible approach and positive attitude needed to achieve targets in a challenging, changeable environment. With empathy, understanding and patience, we’ll not only expect you to like talking to people – but be passionate about helping them too.
