Home, a place where you belong

Want to be part of a team that truly cares, not only about our customers, but about you too? Our colleagues tell us that working here feels different. We’re brilliant at what we do, and we look after each other just as much as we support our customers. If you’ve ever felt like just a number in your current job, this could be the change you’ve been waiting for.

• Lead support planning and coordinate our Support Workers to deliver person-centred support

• Balance support, safeguarding, admin and meetings while guiding colleagues and managing caseloads

• Support Customers with daily tasks like budgeting, cooking and attending appointments

• Work with multi-agency teams to safeguard and empower our customers

• Help customers build independence and prepare for their move-on into the community

Why join us

This is more than a job – it’s a place where you feel valued. With our learning and development offer, and support from friendly colleagues, you’ll make a real difference every day!

You have

• Passion and experience in supporting others ideally in a supported housing setting

• Level 3 Diploma in Care or equivalent experience (or are willing to work towards it)
