Searching for a job that might change someone's life? Perhaps you’re looking for one that might change yours as well?
This Homeless Charity is searching for a new Intensive Support Worker to join their small and dedicated team, supporting people who were recently homeless and are now in a supported living environment. The role has the potential impact to re-route a person’s life!
Salary: up to GBP28k base salary
Hours: Mon-Fri (no weekends or nights) 3 week shift ROTA 8am-4pm, 10am-6pm, 12-8pm.
Location: Northampton
You will 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 Support Worker (the clue is in the title), 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 whom 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 & regulations 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 a support-related role, we would love to hear from you. This doesn't even have to be in a commercial setting; it could have been in your own private life, a friend, or family member maybe. See yourself as an empathetic individual who loves to make a difference in people's lives? This role would be perfect for you.
