Become a Support Worker with Active Prospects!
Location: Redhill, Surrey
Salary: £12.75 per hour - Support worker
Service Type: Adult Complex Care Service
Speciality: Mental Health, Autism, Learning Disability
Join an award-winning company! We recently won the Employer of the Year Award at the Learning Disabilities and Autism Awards 2024 and were named the UK's Best Workplaces 2023 by Great Places to Work UK. Our training team has also received numerous national and regional awards, recognized for excellence.
We are looking for kind, compassionate individuals passionate about empowering others to lead fulfilling lives. If you are patient, resilient, and capable of bringing calm and consistency to individuals living independently for the first time, we want to hear from you. Our new service, Great Meadows, supports six people with diverse needs, including emotional support, learning new coping mechanisms, and expressing their true selves.
Your role is to support individuals in leading a 'Gloriously ordinary' life filled with opportunities, fun, and achievement of personal goals. While the role can be challenging, the rewards are immense—such as helping someone express their identity and pursue their dreams, like attending the Pride festival near Brighton.
We seek adaptable, flexible, mature individuals who can support independence through empowerment, active support, positive risk-taking, and innovative thinking. Some individuals may experience self-harm, anxiety, or display behaviors of concern, which you will be trained to manage.
Currently, all supported individuals receive several hours of 1:1 support during the day, along with shared support during day and night shifts. Ideal candidates will have a passion for working with people experiencing enduring mental health challenges, an interest in the psychology of complex behaviors, and a willingness to learn and apply Positive Behaviour Support.
Active Prospects is recruiting Day and Night Support Workers for our complex care service in Redhill, Surrey.
Great Meadows is conveniently located near public transport, with a short walk from the bus stop/train station. Drivers are welcome, with free onsite parking available.
In return for your dedication, you will receive a competitive pay rate of £12.75 per hour, with additional pay on some bank holidays and when taking maternity, paternity, or adoption leave. Benefits include an Employee Assistance Programme offering free legal support and counseling, opportunities for further qualifications in Social Care (levels 3 and 5), career progression (80% of our management started as Support Workers), referral bonuses, and a supportive, inclusive environment.
Our comprehensive Induction Programme ensures all new employees receive both classroom and on-the-job training to prepare for their roles.
