Make a real difference every day
Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can support adults with additional needs to live fulfilling, independent lives? If so we would love to hear from you.
We are a supported living house based in Cranleigh, part of St Josephs Specialist Trust. Our tenants have a range of needs, including autistic spectrum disorders, learning difficulties and language and communication challenges.
We’re looking for caring, compassionate people to join our friendly team. This position is to support a female resident and so due to our ratios for staff we are looking for a female Supported Living Worker to join us. No previous experience is required – just empathy, resilience and a positive attitude. We will give you a full induction, specialist training and ongoing support so you feel confident from day one. Because of the needs of our residents physical, emotional and mental resilience is essential.
What you’ll be doing
As a Supported Living Worker, you will help tenants with all aspects of daily life: from cooking, cleaning and shopping to accessing the community, attending college or enjoying trips out. You will also support them in their leisure time.
Sometimes tenants may feel anxious or frustrated. We equip you with the skills and confidence to support them safely and effectively, including Team Teach positive behaviour training (fully funded and refreshed every year).
Because of our semi‑rural location, a driving licence and access to transport is highly desirable. You may be required to drive tenants or staff using your own vehicle (with appropriate insurance) or a company vehicle.
Why join St Josephs?
Along with the satisfaction of making a real difference, we offer:
- GBP 1,000 retention bonus (GBP 250 after 1 month, GBP 250 after 1 year, GBP 500 after 18 months) – subject to tax/NI
- Fully funded QCF Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care (with opportunity to progress to Senior Support Worker)
- Life insurance and medical cash plan (after 1 month service)
- Personalised CPD and regular 1:1 support
- Employee Assistance Programme: confidential wellbeing support 24/7
- Staff discounts on local fitness classes
- 25 days paid annual leave and bank holidays (if working over bank holidays these will be paid and holiday accrued)
Please note: we are unable to offer sponsorship for overseas applicants at this time.
St Josephs Specialist Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. This position requires an enhanced DBS disclosure and satisfactory references.
