Assistant Support Worker

Signature Personnel are proudly recruiting experienced Assistant Support Workers on behalf of our client, a worldwide homelessness support charity. The site in question is located in Fleetwood, FY7. Starting as a zero-hour / ad-hoc position, there are potential opportunities for temp-perm contracts for the right people.

The ideal candidates will have experience in a similar role and hold a current Enhanced DBS relating to both children and adults. The fluent speaking and understanding of English is essential as is the ability to provide 2 relatable employment references. A UK driving licence and own vehicle would be an advantage as would any social care / support related qualifications and certified skills including health & safety at work, safeguarding, and conflict management.

The role involves team working and the covering of reception, dealing with resident queries, emergencies, staff handovers and general point of contact / signposting. You must be IT literate to log service charge payments, complete digital handovers, and use Microsoft Office 365, as all client files are online and require regular updating. Support planning, needs and risk assessment experience will also be an advantage to help support the permanent staff team.

The site accommodates a combination of single homeless males and females aged 16-24 years and families, hence the need for a dual children and adult enhanced DBS. Experience working with care leavers and young offenders would be beneficial within this site.

The shifts are 8am-2pm | 8am-4:30pm | 9am-5pm | 4pm-10pm | 1pm-10pm, Monday through Sunday.

The rate of pay is £12.00 per hour with any night shifts being paid at £13.00 per hour.

“All providers in England are offering housing and support (supported accommodation) to 16 and 17-year-old looked-after children, and care leavers must now legally register with Ofsted. The Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023 (“the Regulations”) introduce four Quality Standards which all registered providers must comply with: the leadership and management standard, the protection standard, the accommodation standard and the support standard.”
