Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled and experienced specialist female mental health support worker to work in a brand new and rewarding service. You will be supporting a female with complex learning difficulties and mental health support needs, to lead her best life possible. Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a female colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act .

We are looking to recruit a very special team for early and late day shifts and another person to work waking night shifts. Supporting an amazing woman who is looking to finally realise her dream of living in her own home.

She has experienced a lot in her 21 years and will need a large team of talented and kind staff around her. She is right at the start of her independence journey and will need lots of support and understanding while she navigates through this. She brings a very quick sense of humour, a big love of pizza and a very stylish taste in music She canalso be very funny and sweet. However, there won't be time to rest on your laurels - this role is going to be full on, and is going to need a highly skilled and patient team, as she is also capable of verbally and physically challenging behaviours. You will need to be cool, calm and resilient too

You must have experience of working with people with complex mental health and associated needs to apply for this advanced role. We offer a high level of additional training and induction to all colleagues, along with specialist training to match the needs of person we support. You should also bring enthusiasm for the things she loves to do, and creative new ideas for her to get involved in.

We are working in partnership with the person we support and her family to recruit the right team, and their views and opinions will be an integral part of the process of choosing the successful candidates.

Your values:

The ideal candidate will have a Level 3 in Social Care along with strong experience in mental health.

If you do not have a qualification, you will need to have experience in social care and be prepared to take on additional training, that we will support you to complete.

You will know how to connect with people and be passionate about supporting people to live independently. You will also be a brilliant mentor and share your skills and experiences with your colleagues.

We will develop your talents with a range of specialist training, including the opportunity to learn Positive Behaviour Support methods, Makaton and the Picture Exchange System. 

During recruitment you will meet the person we support and their family. This will allow you to see their wonderful personality first-hand and fully understand the level of support that they require.

Naturally it is important too that you share our company values - We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. People's values are important to use, so we look for people who are:

Cool, Calm and CollectedCredible, Knowledgeable and ReassuringPatient and KindResilient, Confident and Consistent in approach
