We're looking for Support Workers who are passionate about supporting adults to increase their independent living skills, well-being, and engagement, whilst facilitating positive community participation.

This is a challenging and demanding role that requires you to draw on your compassion, resilience, and a non-judgemental attitude. You will need a sound understanding of risk management and the ability to maintain appropriate structures and boundaries. 

Full specialist forensic training and support will be provided. This is a fantastic opportunity to further develop your career! 

Shifts are usually 8am one day until 8am the following day with a sleep-in shift included.
