You'll be supporting customers on their journey back to 'mainstream' accommodation. Their needs will be very different, depending on their point in their journey. As an Intensive (the clue is in the title) Support Worker you'll be dealing with some of the most vulnerable and challenging customers.
On your shift, you'll be responsible for around 6 individuals, some of which will have complex issues, trauma, drug and alcohol dependency or mental health challenges. You’ll be supporting & providing a range of services such as medication and other basic health care.
You’ll need to be incredibly disciplined, set boundaries and ensure rules & regs are adhered to… You are there to support the clients, not be their friend, however, empathy is a must-have characteristic in this role – it’s a fine balance!
To Apply?
If you have previous experience working in support related role we would love to hear from you. This doesn't even have to be in a commercial setting, this could have been in your own private life, a friend or family member maybe. See your self as an empathetic individual who loves to make a difference in peoples lives? This role would be perfect for you.
