- Engage with clients within established boundaries in order to build rapport
- Be responsive to the presentation of clients and take reasonable precautions to manage risk, including deescalating and seeking appropriate assistance, when necessary from emergency services
- Maintain links with appropriate support services for clients and staff, e.g. GPs, Social Services, Registered Social Landlords, or other relevant housing association or landlords, Community Mental Health Teams, Substance Misuse Services, Commissioners (where appropriate), leisure, educational or work activities
- Assisting with health and safety checks, log and reporting property repairs and maintenance
- Ensure all written records with up-to-date, clear, comprehensive and appropriate information
Benefits
- Pension scheme
- 22 days holiday plus bank holidays (increasing to 25 days after 3 years’ service)
- Training and development provided
- We have been awarded an excellence level for the healthy workplace charter 2019, Inclusive Excellence Award 2024-2025 and retained our Mindful Employer status for a further two years 2024-2026
