Home, a place where you belong

Want to be part of a team that truly cares, not only about our customers, but about you too? Our colleagues tell us that working here feels different. We’re brilliant at what we do, and we look after each other just as much as we support our customers. If you’ve ever felt like just a number in your current job, this could be the change you’ve been waiting for.

You’ll help people with complex needs live more independently, where no two days are the same. One moment you’re helping someone take a big step towards their goals, the next you’re supporting them through life’s everyday ups and downs.

What you’ll do

• Lead support planning and coordinate our Support Workers to deliver person-centred support
• Balance support, safeguarding, admin and meetings while guiding colleagues and managing caseloads
• Support Customers with daily tasks like budgeting, cooking and attending appointments
• Work with multi-agency teams to safeguard and empower our customers
• Help customers build independence and prepare for their move-on into the community

Why join us

This is more than a job – it’s a place where you feel valued. With our learning and development offer, and support from friendly colleagues, you’ll make a real difference every day! If you’re ready to leave behind the ordinary, do something that really matters. Be part of one of the UK’s Great Places to Work! You’ll be joining a small, customer-focused team that truly sweats the small stuff and celebrates every big win! We might be small, but we’re a mighty, supportive group who lift each other up and bring positivity to every single day.

You have

• Passion and experience in supporting others ideally in a supported housing setting
• Experience assessing referrals and coordinating support
• The ability to work under your own initiative, remain calm under pressure and have a resilient approach

The practical bits

• You’ll work from 9:00 to 17:00
• Flexible working with the ability to manage your own diary and tailor it to our customer needs!
• Primarily based near Bath city centre, with potential for some flexibility depending on service needs
• You’ll need an Enhanced DBS with barred list check (we’ll pay for this)
• We do not have onsite parking for our city centre location.
• You need an Enhanced with barring list (we pay)

What’s in it for you?

• 34 days leave, rising to 39 (this includes bank holidays and a “me day”)
• Health cash plan saving you (and your children) £1140+ each year covering dental, opticians, prescriptions and more
• Matching pension contribution (up to 7% and life insurance of 3x basic salary)
• Instant pay access with Stream
• 800+ discounts on shops, holidays, days out, tech and more
