Support Worker - Mental Health
Location: Three Bridges, Crawley, West Sussex
Salary: £12.75 per hour
Service Type: Complex Care Service
Speciality: Mental Health, Autism, Learning Disability
Active Prospects was ranked among the UK's Best Workplaces 2024 by Great Places to Work UK! Our training has also received awards at the Learning Disabilities and Autism awards. We hold the Disability Confident Leaders employer accreditation.
Are you kind, compassionate, and passionate about empowering people to lead fulfilling lives? Are you patient, resilient, and capable of bringing calm and consistency to individuals living independently for the first time? Three Bridges is a female-only service supporting four ladies requiring emotional support, learning new coping mechanisms, and transitioning into adulthood.
The role involves supporting individuals to lead a full, opportunity-filled life, helping them reach their goals. While challenging, the rewards are significant; for example, one individual who spent 26 years in a hospital now lives independently, works paid employment, or attends college. The ladies enjoy outings such as trips to Brighton, karaoke, dining out, and event planning.
You should be adaptable, flexible, mature, and supportive of independence through empowerment, active support, positive risk-taking, and innovative thinking. Note that some individuals may self-harm, experience anxiety, or exhibit behaviors of concern.
Currently, all supported individuals have several hours of 1:1 support daily, along with shared support during day and night. Ideal candidates will have a passion for working with those with enduring mental health issues, an interest in the psychology of complex behaviors, and a willingness to learn and apply Positive Behaviour Support.
