  • Encouraging social inclusion and helping customers to build their confidence, resilience, and self-esteem
  • Working with statutory and non-statutory agencies on behalf of the customers and actively encouraging choice and involvement, or acting as an advocate when required
  • Maintaining a safe environment for customers, providing support in accordance with relevant regulations, procedures, and practices

 

Skills and experiences:

  • A caring, approachable nature and a confident ‘can-do’ attitude
  • Ability to keep accurate records and clearly communicate relevant information to team members
  • Excellent communication skills to build positive relationships with customers, families, and internal and external agencies
  • Experience of working as a member of a team
  • A positive and accepting approach to customers whatever their needs
  • Level 2 NVQ Health and Social Care, or willing to work towards

 

Are you ready to be your best?

Brilliant work deserves brilliant benefits As part of our commitment to making Sanctuary Supported Living a great place to work, here are just some of the ways we’ll reward you:

  • At least 25 days paid holiday, rising to 30 days after 5 years’ service (plus public holidays) pro rata
  • A pension scheme with employer contributions
  • A variety of online discounts and rewards from major retailers
  • Health and well-being plans
