Are you passionate about supporting people to move forward with their lives?
R.I.S.E Support Services Ltd is recruiting Mental Health Support Workers across our supported living services.
We support adults with mental health needs to live as independently as possible, develop confidence, manage risks and work towards their own goals and recovery.
At R.I.S.E., support isn't about taking over or doing everything for someone.
It's about working alongside people, recognising their strengths and providing the right support when they need it.

- Support medication in accordance with training and company procedures
- Maintain accurate and professional records
- Work collaboratively with colleagues, managers and other professionals
- Identify and report safeguarding or wellbeing concerns appropriately
- Maintain dignity, confidentiality and professional boundaries
Who We're Looking For

We're looking for people who are:
✓ Compassionate and non-judgemental
