We are actively recruiting Support Workers to cover shifts at homeless hostels and supported living services in Dorset, due to a high demand for our services. The majority of the work available at this time involves supporting homeless females.
We offer a range of shift patterns for our Support Workers, including earlies, lates, long days, and waking nights. You have the flexibility to choose which shift pattern you prefer to work. Our Support Workers value the ability to work as much or as little as they like, fitting work around their lifestyle and other commitments, or making working with us their primary source of income.
We are seeking candidates with experience in supporting homeless adults or a similar background. Experience in supporting homeless individuals with alcohol and/or substance misuse issues would be advantageous.
The ideal Support Worker will possess the skills and mindset to work with vulnerable individuals who have faced traumatic situations leading to their current situation. They should be emotionally resilient, patient, empathetic, and understand the importance of consistency in their approach and communication. The ability to create and maintain safe working boundaries with the individuals being supported is crucial, as these individuals may display challenging and unpredictable behaviours at times.
If you are interested in pursuing this career opportunity and believe you possess the necessary skills, we would love to hear from you!
