Relief Support Worker

We are seeking calm, resourceful and energetic Relief Support Workers who are well motivated, hardworking and who are looking to join our friendly, dedicated team. You will provide person centred care and support to the individuals we support in all aspects of every day life and facilitate a wide range of activities.

Our supported living service in Burnley provides person centred support to adults with mental health support needs.

You will have skills in positive communication and engagement and will be able to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for the people we support. You will have the required skills and qualities to manage behaviours that challenge the environment and others and will have the maturity to be able to work within a positive behaviour support framework.

The ability to support people who can express their needs though challenging behaviour at times is essential. You must be able to follow agreed guidelines and to work positively within a consistent, mutually supportive team ethos.

The Relief Support Worker position enables you the opportunity to work alongside, and as an integral part of, our structured and hardworking teams across all projects within the Burnley service. This will enable you to develop a diverse range of experiences and knowledge whilst maintaining flexible working patterns to suit your circumstances. You will work closely with our local managers to book shifts in advance and planned around your availability, as well as being offered shifts on an ad-hoc basis.

You must be willing to actively embrace all aspects of the role including support with personal care and domestic tasks, as well as promote and encourage opportunities to participate in community activities.
