About you, about the role
You may already have experience of providing care to people with mental health support needs, although full training will be given to enable you to provide recovery focused, person-centred support for our clients to live as independently as possible within the community.
You will already have an understanding of the needs of people living with mental health and its effects, the willingness to learn, have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and have good I.T. skills, including word, databases and e-mails. If you have an NVQ/QCF in Health & Social Care, that’s great! If not, we will support you in obtaining this and beyond.
We believe in equal access to opportunities and create environments where people feel valued and comfortable in being themselves at work. Our commitment to an inclusive community is shown by both our employee engagement and awareness initiatives and in how we empower people to do their best every day. This is reflected in our core values of Caring, Honest, One team, Innovative, Courageous and Equal = CHOICE. These values are firmly embedded in everything we do, guiding our culture and the behaviours we expect from each other so we can confidently move forward with one shared purpose, delivering exceptional care and support.
This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
