Helping people rebuild their lives, one day at a time.

If you're someone who genuinely cares about people, is motivated by seeing others grow, and wants a role where every day feels meaningful, this opportunity with our clients' Care & Support team could be perfect for you.

You'll join a warm, supportive team who provide accommodation and one-to-one recovery-focused support to adults living with mental illness. You'll play a key role in helping people regain confidence, develop daily living skills and successfully manage their tenancy, all while being part of a service that values choice, dignity and inclusion.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Our client is officially recognised as one of the UK's Best Workplaces, a Best Workplace for Wellbeing and a Best Workplace for Women. Our colleagues tell us they feel supported, valued and proud of the work they do.

Your benefits include:

• 37-hour working week
• Generous annual leave, with buy/sell options
• Healthcare cash plan, counselling & wellbeing support
• Help with bus and tram passes

What You'll Be Doing

You'll provide face-to-face support to people living with mental illness, helping them to:

• Build confidence and emotional resilience
• Strengthen relationships with family and professionals
• Develop skills for independent living
• Maintain a positive tenancy

Some individuals may need help to manage challenges such as substance misuse, anti-social behaviour or offending-related risks. You'll respond proactively and work closely with housing, legal and criminal justice partners when needed.

You'll also keep clear, accurate records - so confidence with IT, numeracy and writing is important.

• You have an understanding of mental health needs and a genuine desire to make a difference
• You stay calm and patient - even during challenging moments
• You're confident communicating with vulnerable adults and other professionals
• You're organised, reliable and able to work independently
• You have basic IT, literacy and numeracy skills

Shift Patterns

Our support runs 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You'll work a range of shifts, typically between 8am-9pm, including weekends and bank holidays.
