**Empowering customers to live rewarding and happy lives. That’s when it hits home.**

We have a fantastic job opportunity for a brilliant Supported Living Coordinator like you to join our fab and supportive team. Here at Beech Range, our fast-paced Mental Health Step Down service provides support to our brilliant customers who have goals and aspirations to rehabilitate back into the community in a short-term setting.

Our customers live in an 8 bed house with shared kitchens and bathrooms, garden and tv lounge. This is located in Levsenhulme nearby fantastic public transport networks, including buses 192, 150, 172, 197 and trains from Stockport and Manchester stations.

You’ll help your customers identify their aspirations & work with them to create plans that help them achieve these. You’ll also help your colleagues to deliver on the plans you’ve created to achieve excellence. Our aim is to support our customers to live their day to day lives as independently as possible.

The team will tell you that no two days are ever the same because everything we do is “person centred” around our customers. You’ll support a fab group of customers with things such as medication, meaningful use of time, housing as well as navigating any appointments they may have.

You’ll work alongside our customers to truly understand their aspirations and goals and work with them to achieve those or, at least, be on the path to doing so.

**Customer quote**

Question: What qualities do you look for in a Supported Living Co-ordinator?

Customer quote: ‘Someone who can listen and empathise. Someone with a basic understanding of mental illness. Someone who is very good with time management.’

**Be yourself at Home**

Home Group is committed to tackling prejudice and discrimination, not just for our customers, but for our colleagues too We’re super proud of our internal Diversity Networks and allies (Multicultural, LGBTQIA+ and Disability) which support colleagues from different backgrounds to be their true selves. We recognise and celebrate our differences, together we make Home Group a great place to work

**About you**

You’re passionate and motivated. To you providing care and support is more than just a job, you make every customer feel valued and respected. You’re compassionate and use your unique empathy and creativity skills to help our customers reach their full potential. Treating your customers with integrity, you ensure that they maintain their dignity at all times.

You’ll help change our customer’s lives (and our services) for the better by undertaking risk assessments, support planning, goal setting and regular reviews. You’ll create bespoke and personalised support plans with and for your customers.

Each plan will look to meet our customer’s individual potential and long-term goals, making sure they meet safeguarding and confidentiality requirements. You’ll also have responsibility for coordinating our support workers, apprentices and volunteers, and working collaboratively with external agencies, to assess and engage support for our customers.

To make sure our customers are well supported, it’s important that you have worked in a social care environment or other customer facing role before. You must have a great understanding of professional boundaries, responsibility for safeguarding, risk assessment, confidentiality and have experience in case management. Don’t worry, we won’t drop you in the deep end, we’ll help to you understand how things work at Home Group

It would be amazing if you have worked in this type of environment before however it’s your “can do” positive attitude and enthusiasm that are critical to make this role a success. We can nurture your talent, just let us know in your cover letter why you have a passion for working here

As this is a community-based role, you’ll need to travel around to spend time with your customers. You could do this role using public transport - we have a customer transport policy which means customer’s may pay for your transport if they need your support and you do not already have a pass. If you drive and have access to a car that would also be amazing (We pay your expenses to cover this use).
- When you join, you’ll need to have a valid Enhanced Check under the Disclosure and Barring Service. The great news is that we will pay for that to be done if you don’t have a transferrable one._

**About our team**

We’re also super passionate about supporting customers and celebrating their achievements. Especially ensuring our customers are offered activities to benefit their wellbeing, and that they are encouraged to access meaningful activities
