Description
We are recruiting for both day and night time roles!
Our residents in this service have experienced long term street homelessness and have faced significant challenges including with their mental health, substance use, and alcohol dependency, and struggled to sustain engagement with support services.
That's why they're here, to make a change and gain the support they need to enable greater independence and recovery.
In this role, as a Support Mentor, you will work within a 24 hour service which provided person centred support to our residents.
Some key responsibilities include:
- Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of residents and participants.
- Be a present member of the team on the night shift, completing handovers for day colleagues for a seamless service.
- Building trusting professional relationships with residents, helping them to achieve their goals and aspirations which could be through tailored one to one sessions, group sessions, in and out of service activities, and general wellbeing check ins.
- Focusing on empowering our residents to take control over their lives and meet their personal goals.
We're looking for someone who shares our passion for supporting people who’ve experienced homelessness and may have complex needs.
Our residents are at the forefront of our service delivery, so building trusting and professional relationships is key.
You’ll be adaptable, proactive, and confident using your initiative to resolve challenges, and keep the night service running smoothly. Teamwork is essential and having previous knowledge of the needs our residents may have.
The Nigh-time role has a closing date of 15 October
