AC - Support Worker - Temporary ; Non

Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference in people’s lives? At the Dick Stewart Service, we provide supported accommodation for male ex-offenders, helping them transition back into the community after prison. Our dedicated team works around the clock, offering guidance on independent living skills such as budgeting, cooking, and self-care, while also supporting residents to engage with programmes that address offending behaviour.

Join our team and be part of a service that not only provides a safe space but actively empowers individuals to rebuild their lives. You’ll have the chance to work closely with people who are ready for a fresh start, helping them achieve their goals and prepare for life beyond our accommodation.

As a Support Worker at the Dick Stewart Service, you will play a vital role in assisting male ex offenders as they transition back into the community. Joining us on a temporary threemonth contract, you will work closely with clients to provide structured support in daily tasks such as budgeting, personal care, and developing independent living skills. You will also contribute to the creation and implementation of personalised support plans, working alongside senior staff to ensure each client receives the care and guidance they need.

This position requires flexibility, as you will work a varied shift pattern including day, evening, and sleepover shifts to help provide 24hour support for clients. Your responsibilities will include attending meetings and case conferences, completing report writing, and supporting clients with appointments, life skills development, and personal challenges. Compassion, patience, and an understanding of the criminal justice system are essential to success in this role.

Beyond providing practical support, you will uphold Cross Reach’s Christian ethos, ensuring all interactions reflect our values of care, dignity, and respect. You will also be encouraged to engage in professional development and supervision throughout your contract to continually enhance the support you provide.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.
