Become a Support Worker with Active Prospects!
Location: Redhill, Surrey
Salary: £12.75 per hour - (Support worker)
Service Type: Adult Complex Care Service
Speciality: Mental Health, Autism, Learning Disability
Do you want to work for an award-winning company? We have recently won the Employer of the Year Award at the Learning Disabilities and Autism Awards 2024. We were also awarded the UK’s Best Workplaces 2023 by Great Places to Work UK! Our training team has also won many national and regional awards and is viewed as outstanding by our colleagues.
The role is about supporting people to lead a gloriously ordinary life full of opportunity, fun, and helping people to reach their goals and aspirations. The role can be tough, but the rewards outweigh the challenges. For example, one individual is now comfortable expressing her identity and is looking forward to living near Brighton, where her dream is to attend the annual Pride festival and be in a place where she is fully accepted.
You will need to be adaptable, flexible, mature, and able to support our people to regain their independence through empowerment, active support, positive risk-taking, and out-of-the-box thinking. It's important to note that some people being supported may self-harm, have anxiety, or occasionally show behaviours of concern.
At present, all the people we support have several hours of 1:1 support during the day, as well as some shared support day and night. The ideal candidates will have a passion for working with people with enduring mental health challenges, a keen interest in the psychology behind complex behaviours that challenge, and the willingness to learn and practice Positive Behaviour Support.
