As a Support Worker you will play a vital role in creating a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for young people living in the home. Working closely with colleagues as part of a dedicated team, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality support that meets the individual needs of each young person. Your role will involve building positive relationships, encouraging trust, and helping young people to develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive both within the home and in the wider community. You will support them in enhancing their daily living skills, such as managing routines, preparing meals, budgeting, and maintaining personal wellbeing, while also encouraging them to take part in activities that build resilience and self-esteem. A key aspect of your work will be assisting young people to access healthcare by arranging and attending appointments with GPs, dentists, and other professionals, ensuring they receive the right support for their physical and emotional needs. You will actively promote independence by guiding young people to make informed choices, take responsibility for their decisions, and explore opportunities that prepare them for adulthood. In addition, you will help them to connect with their local communities, encouraging participation in education, training, employment, and leisure activities, and signposting them to relevant external services that can further support their growth and development. This role requires patience, empathy, and a commitment to safeguarding, as you will be instrumental in helping young people overcome challenges, build positive futures, and achieve their potential.
