Meaningful conversations about feelings, interests, experiences and everyday life
Whether its chatting about a favourite movie, helping with a technology project, playing Xbox or simply being there for a conversation,




the little moments of connection can have a big impact
.
We're particularly interested in Support Workers with experience in:
Positive Behaviour Support
Emotional regulation and recognising triggers
De-escalation and behaviours of concern
Trauma-informed practice
Supporting people with complex mental health presentations
Maintaining professional boundaries
Providing consistent, person-centred support
Clear and accurate documentation and communication
Most importantly, you'll be
patient, resilient, respectful and a outstanding listener
. You'll understand that building trust takes time and that consistency is key to creating a positive and supportive relationship.
