ABOUT THE ROLE
We are recruiting for Floating Support Workers to join our team across Brighton and Hove! You may need to support in additional local areas as appropriate. We are ideally looking for someone who is local as shifts may vary due to this being a bank position; we are unable to provide consistent rotas, therefore being from the area will be beneficial in getting around to the various locations. In this role, you will provide community-based support for individuals with mental health and wellbeing needs. You will work alongside various services to support individuals to meet their unique goals, and provide opportunities available to them to live independently in the community, develop their social skills and independent living skills.
* Support participants to achieve desired outcomes/goals through support plans, risk assessments, and regular reviews
* Develop and encourage participation in activities and events within the community
* Work alongside community partners and other SIG services
* Recognise signs of deteriorating mental health, physical health, or other health implications and initiate appropriate interventions to prevent crisis or other risks
* Complete safeguarding and other referrals when required.
* Support participants in medications supervision, hospital appointments, bills/correspondence checking and compliance, prompting personal care.
Shift Pattern: Bank hours will be ad-hoc varying on availability which can be Monday to Sunday. There may be a possibility to gain weekly regular shifts; however, we are unable to guarantee this.
