Home, a place where you belong

We have a fantastic opportunity to join our team here at our South Lakes Next Steps Accommodation programme.

The South Lakes NSAP is our supported accommodation service in Kendal. Weve been open just over three years now and it is fantastic to see the differences weve made and continue to make daily, to our customers lives. The positive outcomes speak for themselves.

If you are someone who really cares about people; you are willing to go the extra mile to support someone to achieve something big or small; youre tenacious; youre someone that wants to give people a chance to be the best they can possibly be. Then this may just be the role for you.

Here at the South Lakes NSAP, we support people who have been homeless or are at risk of homelessness. Each of our customers has their own story and understanding this is key in the role of a Support Worker.

Typical day as support worker

  • Assisting customers with practical, daily living tasks to develop their independence,helping them to achieve the goals, aspirations and outcomes documented in their support plans.
  • Running customer activities in the service, encouraging customers to interact with other customers and build the skills they need to achieve independence.
  • You will support customers to access external groups and agencies to build up their own support networks for when they are ready to move into independent accommodation.
  • You would be supporting customers to build the skills they need to maintain permanent independent accommodation. This might be things like budgeting, paying bills, setting up utilities, ensuring their property is clean and tidy, cooking good healthy meals.
  • Liaising with external agencies and brining those agencies around the table to provide the support your customers need to hit their goals.
  • Working with customers to secure permanent accommodation.
