Summary
Supported Living Coordinator (CQC services)

Yorkshire, Ravensthorpe

Part time (27.5 hours per week), Permanent

Salary starting £19,300 to £20,250 pa, plus, brilliant benefits!

Empowering customers to live rewarding and happy lives. That's when it hits home.

We have a brilliant opportunity for you to join our independent supported living CQC service in the beautiful old mill town of Kirklees. Our Queen Street service supports adult customers who have complex needs including Learning Disabilities, Personality Disorders and Mental Health diagnosis. We offer person centred support, helping customers to live in their own home and fulfil their goals and aspirations so they can live their best lives.

Our property at Queen Street in Ravensthorpe, has self-contained furnished apartments, with two buildings with open living spaces and a newly decked outside area (ideal for those summer BBQ's). We are also very close to Huddersfield town centre by public transport or by car.

Working hours

You'll work on a rota basis between the hours of 8am and 9pm and take your turn working days, evenings and bank holidays. We need you to be flexible to meet the needs of our customers, but we aim to give you the time you need to spend time doing the things that matter to you.

About you

You're passionate and motivated. To you providing care and support is more than just a job, you make every customer feel valued and respected. You're compassionate and use your unique empathy and creativity skills to help our customers reach their full potential. Treating your customers with integrity, you ensure that they maintain their dignity at all times.

You'll help change our customer's lives (and our services) for the better by undertaking risk assessments, support planning, goal setting and regular reviews. You'll create bespoke and personalised support plans with and for your customers. Each plan will look to meet our customer's individual potential and long-term goals, making sure they meet safeguarding and confidentiality requirements. You'll also have responsibility for coordinating our support workers, apprentices and volunteers, and working collaboratively with external agencies, to assess and engage support for our customers.

You're unique!

Home Group play a big part in tackling prejudice and discrimination, not just for our customers, but colleagues too! You can be yourself here, because we value everything that makes you unique. So, whatever your age, race, sexuality, disability, religion, or gender identity, we recognise and celebrate our differences. Together we make Home Group a great place to work!

To make sure that we keep our records straight, and customers safe, it's really important that you are technologically savvy (or at the very least not a technophobe!) You'll be issued with the latest kit, which could include a Surface Pro and mobile and Alertcom (lone working support device) to help you when you're out and about.

It would be amazing if you have worked in this type of environment before, however it's your "can do" positive attitude and enthusiasm that are critical to make this role a success. We can nurture your talent, just let us know in your cover letter why you have a passion for working here!

About our team

Tracey is our Registered Manager at the service who has worked at Home Group for over 17 years in lots of our different services, so you'll have tons of experienced support on hand. Tracey has a fab sense of humour and a very supportive nature and loves nothing more than relaxing with a good crime novel, psychological drama or walking her dog Dink! Tracey also has an adventurous side! She enjoys nothing more than snorkelling off the Turkish coast or quad biking through the mountains!

You'll be reporting to Sophie our Deputy Manager, a busy super mum of 2. Sophie has worked at Homegroup for over 4 years and in her spare time loves to spend time with her family and catch up with friends over a glass of wine!

We are a diverse, expanding team made up of a Registered Manager, Deputy Manager, Support Coordinators, Night Support Workers and Support Workers! We don't just love to support our customers, we're there for each other too!

When you join, you'll need to have a valid Enhanced Check under the Disclosure and Barring Service. The great news is that we will pay for that to be done if you don't have a transferrable one.
