About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Mental Health Rehabilitation Worker to support in leading the night shift within our Lewisham service. The service offers specialist intensive rehabilitation for people who require more enhanced interventions than that which is offered within community services. Our residents typically stay with us for up to nine months upon being discharged from acute wards, avoiding admission into inpatient rehabilitation.

We provide residents with support to step down into less supported accommodation, becoming more independent and integrated into the community.

As a Senior within the team, you will be the main point of contact during the night shift across two residential properties, leading the team by example, providing specialist support and managing the environment to be psychologically informed to empower the team and residents to ensure safety, wellbeing, and progress towards resident recovery goals. You will hold a caseload, providing person centred, tailored support to residents directly to help them overcome their personal challenges, meeting their goals and confidence.

The Night Team play a crucial role in continuing the high quality support provided during the day, ensuring a safe, respectful, and responsive environment for residents. You will be expected to remain awake, alert, accessible and actively engaged throughout the shift.

Some key responsibilities include:

* Providing tailored, person centred support that promotes recovery, rehabilitation and independence.

* Helping residents build skills and confidence to move towards independent or supported living.

* Monitoring residents’ wellbeing, carrying out regular checks, and responding to any incidents or emergencies.

* Maintain accurate records and handovers to ensure effective communication between shifts.

* Ensuring a calm, safe, and supportive environment that promotes positive engagement and progress.

* Work collaboratively with colleagues and the management team to deliver high quality care.

* Remain alert and monitor CCTV throughout the shift.

* Complete all routine night duties and any tasks handed over by the day shift or service manager.

* Key worker responsibilities: complete inductions, support plans, reviews, risk assessments, and welfare checks; update records, monitor access, manage unauthorized visitors, follow missing person protocols, and escalate issues to on call when needed.

* Health & Safety: carry out property checks, report maintenance issues, keep communal areas clean and safe, and complete required reports (AINMs and others).

You will be able to be proactive and continue supporting our residents even during quieter hours, supporting with ensuring the service runs smoothly and you are actively engaged with the wider team and residents, supporting the team to stay motivated and working together to achieve the service KPI's.
