Are you kind, compassionate, and passionate about empowering people to lead fulfilling lives? Are you patient, resilient, and able to bring calm and consistency to individuals living independently for the first time? Three Bridges is a female-only service supporting four ladies with diverse needs, including emotional support, learning coping mechanisms, and transitioning into adulthood.
The role involves supporting individuals to lead a fulfilling, ordinary life filled with opportunities, fun, and achievement of personal goals. The role can be challenging, but the rewards are significant. For example, one individual has transitioned from 26 years in a hospital to living independently in the service for two years. Others have paid employment or attend college. The ladies enjoy outings such as trips to Brighton, clubbing, karaoke, dining out, and event planning.
You should be adaptable, flexible, mature, and committed to supporting independence through empowerment, active support, positive risk-taking, and innovative thinking. Please note that some individuals may self-harm, experience anxiety, or display behaviors of concern.
Currently, all supported individuals receive several hours of 1:1 support during the day, along with shared support during day and night shifts. We seek passionate individuals interested in working with people experiencing enduring mental health challenges, with an interest in the psychology of complex behaviors and a willingness to learn and apply Positive Behaviour Support.
