About the Role

The support Worker 2 role is a flexible, multi-skilled role providing direct emotional wellbeing and practical support to individuals to improve their mental health and wellbeing. Working with people on a 1-2-1 or group basis, in people’s homes and communities, the support worker will work with individuals to identify their strengths, issues and goals. They encourage individuals to recognise and use their existing strengths, facilitate building new skills to build momentum in independent living skills, self-management, personal recovery and building capacity. Assessing individual’s’ strengths and needs, the support worker will link people with meaningful supports within their community.

This work is about helping people to live well and achieve the things in life that really matter to them. We have roles available across our 24/7 care at home, housing support and specialist mental health outreach services. These services are commissioned by Dundee Council and support people living with severe and enduring mental health issues and common co-morbidities, such as neurodevelopmental conditions, to live fulfilled lives and achieve their goals. This exciting opportunity will use recovery focussed interventions, supporting people to develop skills and positive support networks towards living an independent life in the community.

We will ask you to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) membership scheme, and register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC). We’re looking for people with great people skills who are honest, reliable and resilient in challenging situations. Ideally for this role you will have experience supporting people with mental health problems, key-working and case management.

Everyone we support is different and we use individually tailored plans to help them to identify where their strengths lie and support them in the areas where they may need it. In this role your attitude and personality matter as much as your skills and experience.

We are looking for initiative, compassion, energy and determination and the ability to motivate and inspire people who use our services to develop their skills and self-confidence and realise their aspirations. This is an exciting opportunity and you will go home each day knowing you made a difference.

You will be allocated to a service base but may be required to work flexibly across other local area services.
