Mental Health Support Worker

Your new company:

We are looking to recruit passionate and motivated mental health support workers to provide person-centred support to our service users. We support a wide range of people, including those who are homeless, at risk of losing their tenancy and who have mental health difficulties. We believe that everyone in society should have a chance to succeed, with a safe and secure place to live and a good education.

Your new role:

As a mental health support worker, you will be working closely with the residents to manage their needs. You will help service users to identify goals and provide the support they need to reach them. This will involve liaising with other agencies such as landlords and homeless prevention teams to help the people you support keep their place within the property. In addition, you will be supporting the service users to organise their finances and promote their independence. You will be completing activities to promote and build self-esteem.

What you'll need to succeed:

Experience in tenancy support, the mental health field, dealing with drug and alcohol abuse, helping people with housing and their benefits is essential. It is important that you can use a caring approach to build trust and strong relationships. It is also essential that you have strong time-management skills to stay on top of your caseload and work collaboratively with others. You will need to be a UK driver and have your own car.

What you'll get in return:

  • Weekly pay
  • A friendly, supportive office team available 24/7 with our on-call system.
  • Free training
  • Free DBS
  • Flexible working
