We require positive and enthusiastic staff who will demonstrate superb communication skills, that are able to work within positive behaviour support guidelines and who will encourage the tenants to live socially inclusive lives. The staff must be able to build a trusting and friendly rapport with all of the service users and to work within the guidelines of local and corporate policies in a dignified manner.

Our services focus on promoting recovery, wellbeing and greater independence. We enable people to make progress in these areas by recognising and building on their strengths, coping abilities, social networks and natural support systems.

To achieve these positive outcomes, we work in partnership with the service users as well as a wide range of agencies and community groups. We are committed to using our assets and resources to create new opportunities for the people we support.

We welcome applications from candidates who are committed to making a positive difference, including experienced Support Workers, care workers, previous NHS staff, graduates and people looking for a stimulating career path into social care.

This unique and challenging opportunity will provide you with an environment that encourages personal and professional development.
