We are a specialist mental health support provider delivering high-quality, person-centred supported living and community-based services for adults with complex mental health needs.
Our work supports individuals with a range of needs including severe and enduring mental illness, acquired brain injury, trauma histories and physical health comorbidities. We pride ourselves on consistent staffing, trauma-informed practice and genuine enablement, not task-driven care.
We are expanding our teams and are looking for compassionate, emotionally intelligent Mental Health Support Workers who want to build long-term, meaningful work in mental health.
The Role
As a Mental Health Support Worker, you will provide 1:1, and small-team support to adults living in their own homes or supported accommodation.

*
Feel emotionally safe and understood
*
Develop structure, routine and confidence
*
Manage their mental health with dignity and choice
*
Re-engage with community life at their own pace
This role requires patience, empathy, emotional resilience and the ability to remain calm in complex or emotionally charged situations.

Desirable
*
Experience supporting autism, trauma or brain injury
*
PMVA / MAPA or similar training

What We Offer
*
Competitive pay: £12.85 per hour

Paid sleep-ins and waking night enhancements
*
Comprehensive induction and role-specific training
*
Ongoing supervision, reflective practice and management support
*
