Following our most recent national award the judges' comments were 'a very inspirational business that aims high to deliver excellence in all areas and supports people to lead aspiring lives. A strong family feel where staff are rewarded, valued and supported to maximise their potential. Great Meadows is our new service for 6 people requiring a wide range of support from emotional support, learning new coping mechanisms, and being able to express their true selves.
The role is about supporting people to lead a Gloriously ordinary life full of opportunity, fun and helping people to reach their goals and aspirations. You will need to be adaptable, flexible, mature and be able to support our people to gain back their independence through empowerment, active support, positive risk-taking and out of the box thinking. It's important to note that some people being supported may self-harm, have anxiety or on occasion show behaviours of concern.
At present all the people we support have several hours of 1:1 support during the day as well as some shared support day and night. The ideal people will have a passion for working with people with enduring mental health, a keen interest in the psychology behind complex behaviours that challenge and the willingness to learn and practice Positive Behaviour Support
