Empowering customers to live rewarding and happy lives. That’s when it hits home.
We have a fabulous job opportunity for you to join our awesome team as a Support Worker. We support our brilliant customers who have complex mental health, learning disabilities or autism in the community.
We have opportunities to work in our community and floating support service which we call STEP (supporting tenancies, Enabling People). Our customers live in a community-based setting in the Redcar and Tees Valley area. We help them to live independently in the community in a flexible and bespoke way to support them to meet their goals and aspirations.
We help change our customer’s lives for the better. You’ll play your part by assisting in the delivery of tasks that are based on our customers personal support plans, and their needs and aspirations. You’ll work with our Senior Support Workers and external agencies to assess and engage support for our customers.
We empower our customers to develop the independent living skills they need, to successfully move on. Together we’ll make a difference!
About you
You’re passionate and motivated to help vulnerable people make positive and lasting changes to their lives. You’ll impress us with your ability to work on your own initiative, positively influencing people from all different backgrounds.
You have experience in safeguarding, risk assessments, confidentiality, support plans, alongside working collaboratively.
To make sure that we keep our records straight, and customers safe, it's really important that you are technologically savvy (or at the very least not a technophobe!)
To make sure our customers are well supported, it’s important that you’ve had a job in a similar environment before. Don’t worry, we won’t drop you in the deep end, we’ll help to you understand how things work at Home Group!
As this is a community based job, you need to be able to drive, as well as having access to a vehicle insured for business purposes. Don’t worry, we’ll pay you expenses to cover this use!
When you join as a Support Worker, you’ll need to have a valid Enhanced Check under the Disclosure and Barring Service. The great news is that we will pay for that to be done if you don’t have a transferrable one.
About our team
You’ll work alongside our fabulous team who are super passionate about supporting customers to reach their goals and celebrating their achievements. To us we’re not just a team we’re a ‘work family’.
Our manager is Lisa and she has been with Home group for over 13 years in various roles across the North East, so is perfectly placed to support you as you join. There are 2 of us in the team so far and we can’t wait to bring in new colleagues and make our team bigger. We don’t just love to support our customers, we’re there for each other too!
Working hours
We provide 24-hour support to our customers each day and every day. You’ll work on a rota basis and there may be a requirement for sleep in shifts if you work in one of our brilliant ISL’s.
We need you to be flexible to meet the needs of our customers, but we aim to give you the time you need to spend time doing the things that matter to you!
Be yourself at Home
Home Group is committed to tackling prejudice and discrimination, not just for our customers, but for our colleagues too! We’re super proud of our internal Diversity Networks and allies (Multicultural, LGBTQIA+ and Disability) which support colleagues from different backgrounds to be their true selves. We recognise and celebrate our differences, together we make Home Group a great place to work!
Casual job?
Looking for a more flexible working pattern? You can also join us on a flexible basis by being part of our bank. You can work hours that fit around your current commitments or even pick up some additional shifts to your main role to earn some extra cash and get paid on a weekly basis.
