Westminster, United Kingdom The Riverside Group Full time

**Job **Title**: Support Assistant
**Contract Type**: Permanent job role
**Salary**: £22,998.93 per annum + £4000 London Allowance
**Working Hours**: 37.5 hours per week.
**Working Pattern**: 8 Weeks Rota - Working between 08:00 and 22:00 hrs including some weekends.
**Location**: Westminster

**Why Riverside?**

At Riverside, we’re a housing association with a difference - enhancing the everyday for all our customers. For 90 years, we’ve been revitalising neighbourhoods and supporting communities by providing the homes they need to live full, fulfilling and rewarding lives.

We have a portfolio of over 75,000 affordable residential and retirement homes across the UK. Our work ranges from homelessness services to social care, employment support to retirement living, and we need the best people on board to help us.

**Working with us, you’ll enjoy**:

- Competitive pay & generous pension
- 28 days holidays plus bank holidays.
- Flexible working options available
- Investment in your learning, personal development and technology
- A wide range of benefits

**The difference you will make as Support assistant.**

You will be key in the day-to-day running of one of our supported housing services. We don’t run care homes, so there’s no need to provide personal care. The priority in your role includes the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our accommodation, including our customers.

Working with people who have a range of needs, you could be doing any number of things. From supporting customers in conversations with calls from their GP, Social Services, or Benefits teams - to dealing with the emergency services including the Police and Ambulance, when the need arises.

You’ll log all incidents to make sure we have an accurate record of events. And when a customer leaves, you will clean and prepare their room, ready for the next occupant.

**About you**

At times this role can be challenging but most of the time it can be incredibly rewarding. You will need to be resilient, empathetic, and able to leave your work at work and not take it home with you.

As a minimum requirement you’ll need to have an experience of working with people in a customer facing environment. Ideally, you’ll also have an understanding of supporting vulnerable people - this could include having your own lived experience of homelessness or drug or alcohol addiction.

**Role Profile**

**Role requires you to**:

- We use Psychologically Informed approaches and Trauma Informed Care principles to support our customers to make positive choices, develop new ways of thinking and take steps towards independence, by:

- Assisting in the planning and delivery of a range of personalised support and move-on plans.
- Understanding the risk management process and assisting the team to organise and undertake regular reviews of support and risk.
- Inspiring and motivating customers to meet agreed outcomes and develop life skills.

- Supporting customers to be financially independent through budgeting plans and maximising income.
- Supporting and monitoring customers’ healthcare needs, ensuring appropriate contact with healthcare professionals
- Empowering customers to move towards self-management of their medication by following Riverside’s medication procedure.
