Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom Hightown Housing Association Full time

We currently have three fantastic opportunities for full time (37.5 hours) Assistant Support Workers at our supported living service in Lord Alexander House.

We are looking for caring, enthusiastic and resilient people who enjoy helping others and seeing the difference their support can make to enable individuals to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

Based in the heart of Hemel Hempstead, near shops and local amenities you will work alongside a small dedicated and supportive team providing support for people with mental health concerns. Each tenant has their own self-contained purpose built flat and we provide 24 hour outreach via access to emergency phone support.

**As an Assistant Support Worker you will;**
- Provide appropriate support to service users who are living in their own homes or in a supported housing setting to enable them to support their aspirations and maximise their independence.
- You will not be providing personal care but your role will involve promoting life skills such as shopping, managing budgets and supporting with domestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning.
- Build long lasting support relationships with people who will benefit from you \"being the difference\".
- Follow agreed support plans and risk assessments to ensure that we are providing a service that meets each individual's needs.

**About You;**

You do not need sector experience as we provide a structured induction, comprehensive training and on the job support to enable you to excel within your role and you will have the opportunity to gain an accredited vocational qualification as well as gain experience and exposure to the wider care support Hightown offers.

We are looking for passionate people who care about others and have a can-do, common sense attitude to their life and who are driven by the desire to make a difference to real lives. You will have the ability to recognise the wishes and needs of vulnerable adults and communicate effectively using different methods according to peoples needs.

**Additionally you will also be able to**:

- Work shifts as part of a rota system which will include weekend and bank holiday working
- Perform at least one sleep in per week as part of your shift
- Work as part of a team to deliver an excellent service to the people we support
- Be flexible in your approach to work and demonstrate resilience in a challenging, but rewarding environment
- Have a commitment to equality and diversity and take a positive approach to supporting people with mental disabilities

**It is also essential that you hold a full UK driving licence and are happy to do sleep-ins (minimum one per week)**.

**About Us**

At Hightown, we're a charitable housing association that builds homes and supports people. We provide affordable homes and a wide range of care and supported housing services across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. Our aim is to deliver demonstrable social value and impact in all of our activities.

**Hightown Benefits;**

In return for your hard work and commitment, we offer a benefits package which includes:

- Generous annual leave allowance of 33 days per year, including statutory bank holidays, rising to 35 days with service
- £21,255 pa for a 37.5 hour a week contract
- We make sleep in payments of at least £45.53 available in addition to your basic pay
- Workplace pension scheme and life assurance of three times your annual salary
- Mileage paid for car usage
- Fully paid DBS
- Annual bonus based on satisfactory performance
- Monthly attendance bonus and annual salary and cost of living review
- Ongoing professional development and training to help you deliver outstanding support
- Refer-a-friend scheme: Earn a £130 bonus for each friend you refer to work for us

**Unfortunately at this time Hightown Housing Association cannot offer visa sponsorship and all applicants will need to demonstrate the right to work in the UK,**
