We are looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate Support Worker who would thrive in a community based service where no two days are ever the same.
South Notts Moving Forward is a floating support service for people with mental health problems covering Gedling, Rushcliffe and Broxtowe districts, working in partnership with local Community Mental Health Teams.
This job might be for you if:
You are a great listener, you are empathetic and understand the needs of people struggling with their mental health, benefits, housing law, debt, health and independent living.
You are resilient. You bounce back from difficulties and can manage stressful situations in a calm and positive way.
You thrive working as part of a diverse team and are good at communicating with others.
You are committed to responding effectively, empowering people to find self-confidence and have respect for the individual.
You are able to understand and follow policies and procedures and have a strong awareness of professional boundaries.
Ideally you should have a working knowledge of the support needs of people with mental health problems living independently in their own home, but being able to demonstrate transferrable skills and a commitment to continuous learning would be acceptable. Extensive training and induction will be provided to the right candidate.
The Moving Forward service has a long and successful record of supporting people to achieve and make key, positive changes to their own lives. If you join our dynamic and motivated team, you will carry your own caseload and support your colleagues to excel at all times.
The role requires flexible and creative effort from you that can aid the development of the people we support. A professional approach and commitment to support vulnerable beneficiaries of this service are a must. You would be expected to keep accurate and relevant support notes, demonstrate how to resolve problems, advocate and communicate at all levels with various community agencies.
