About The Role
Join Our Team as a Mental Health Support Worker at Greenwood Cottage
We’re looking for exceptional individuals to expand the talented ranks of our Care Team at Greenwood Cottage. As a Mental Health Support Worker, you’ll develop a strong and progressive role within the Nouvita family.
You’ll be at the heart of what we do - whether it’s coordinating recreational groups, assisting with assessments for current/future residents, or supporting senior staff in delivering high-quality care. You'll interact with every department in the home and be a key part of our residents' journeys.
️ Your Role Includes:
* Participating in the application of care plans and ensuring interventions are communicated clearly to senior staff
* Assisting in the supervision of other healthcare/support staff
* ️ Maintaining a safe, therapeutic environment for residents, relatives, and colleagues
* Promoting a positive attitude toward mental health and rehabilitation
* Supporting the coordination of recreational and group activities

* ️ Record keeping
* Booking holidays
* Editing/creating care plans
* ️ Viewing and managing your hours
Opportunities for Growth
Many of our senior team members - including managers - started out as support workers. If you’re new to care or looking to grow your career, we’ll give you the tools and support you need to thrive.
Education & Training

Residents at Lavender Lodge often experience acute mental health disorders requiring specialised support. To prepare you:
* You’ll start with a paid e-learning induction
* ️ Followed by a 5-day paid classroom training programme
* Continue with up to 11 annual training classes
* Your ongoing development will be tailored to your role and the needs of the home

* 28 days of annual leave, including bank holidays (pro rata)
* ️ Blue Light Card – discounts with major brands
* Refer a Friend scheme – earn up to £1,000
