About Homesdale
At Homesdale Supported Living, our mission is simple – to empower people to live independently, make their own choices and lead fulfilling lives.
We provide high-quality supported living services for adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism, Mental Health needs, Epilepsy and behaviours that may challenge. Every person we support is unique, and we believe the best support is built around the individual, not the service.
As a growing provider across London, we're committed to delivering compassionate, person-centred support that enables people to maximise their independence, develop new skills and become active members of their local communities.
Whether you're an experienced Support Worker or looking to start a rewarding career in social care, if you share our values we'll provide the training, guidance and support you need to succeed.
About the Role
As a Support Worker, you'll work alongside the people we support, helping them achieve the goals that matter most to them.
You'll build positive relationships based on trust and respect, promoting dignity, choice and independence while encouraging individuals to develop their confidence, life skills and community involvement.
No two days are the same, but every day you'll have the opportunity to make a positive impact on someone's life
Key Responsibilities
As a Support Worker, you will:
- Build positive relationships with the people you support, their families, colleagues and external professionals.
- Get to know each person's strengths, interests, aspirations and preferred ways of communicating to provide truly person-centred support.
