Support Worker, Mental Health

Are you passionate about making a genuine difference in a young person's life? We are seeking dedicated and empathetic Support Workers to join our team in Bracknell. Our supported living service provides a safe, nurturing environment for young people aged 16 - 18 as they navigate the crucial transition into adulthood. We don't just provide a roof over their heads, we equip them with the tangible life skills they need to thrive.

What You Will Do:

Prioritise Safety & Wellbeing:
Ensure the physical and emotional safety of our young people remains paramount during this transition period. Build Independence:
Mentor residents in developing everyday life skills (cooking, budgeting, managing appointments). Support Pathways:
Help young people engage with our unique apprenticeship and trade skill programmes to prepare them for independent living. Be a Trusted Adult:
Provide a listening ear, set positive boundaries, and act as a reliable role model. Shift Patterns Available:
We offer flexible shift patterns to fit your lifestyle, though flexibility is required to meet the needs of the service:
Early: 08:00 - 16:00 Late: 12:00 - 20:00

Note:

Early and late shifts may occasionally be combined into a long day. Waking Nights: 20:00 - 08:00

What We Are Looking For : A resilient, patient, and empathetic nature with a passion for supporting young people. Excellent communication skills and the ability to handle challenging situations calmly. Prior experience in health and social care, youth work, or supported living is a plus, but a great attitude and values-driven approach are most important.
