Are you an experienced Senior Support Worker looking to elevate your career, where you can make a real difference and change lives for the better? If so, join Beech Grove, and provide care for adults with complex mental health needs. You will be key in supporting individuals to lead a full and valued life. It's a career that you can take pride in. Our Care Home service, known as Community Houses, has rapidly expanded with 4 sites across Keighley that offer a step-down service to adults with complex mental health needs. We are a unique service which offers enhanced care to our Service Users to continue with their rehabilitation journey, including physical health monitoring with support from local medical centres. Each service is a large residential house with an office and is where you will help our Service Users to carry out routine daily tasks - everything from help with cooking, cleaning, activities in the community and encouraging independent living in their future. You will even have day trip visits to the seaside with service users as part of this role. At Beech Grove, you will have the chance to develop your skills and career. With a huge range of courses on offer, if you have the aspiration, capability and dedication, Elysium Healthcare can give you the support and opportunities to help you achieve your career goals. What you will be doing You will join the qualified and experienced team that supports people with mental health conditions. As a step-down service between Three Valleys Hospital and Independent Living, service users who are ready to leave the hospital setting but do not quite have the full life skills to live on their own in the community are supported. Whether you have been a Healthcare Assistant, Support Worker or a Care Worker, you can utilise your experience to support people to lead a valued and fulfilled life. We have a 4-tier working structure and all Senior Community Support Workers are on one level. You will report to a Team Leader with the Registered Manager and Deputy on-site daily and can be approached for support, questions and anything else you will need. The last staff survey identified that at our staff answered yes to the question 'I feel well supported by my line manager'. You will work across all four houses and encourage our Service Users to lead a full and valued life, helping them to live more independently, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. It can at times be a challenging environment, but regular feedback from staff is that it is hugely rewarding to see people improve; being able to do something today that they couldn't do last week because of you. As a 24/7 service the standard shift pattern is on a rolling two-week basis covering days, nights and weekends. Overtime is also available and occasional flexibility can also be offered.

Full time
Are you an experienced Senior Support Worker looking to elevate your career, where you can make a real difference and change lives for the better? If so, join Beech Grove, and provide care for adults with complex mental health needs. You will be key in supporting individuals to lead a full and valued life. It's a career that you can take pride in. Our Care Home service, known as Community Houses, has rapidly expanded with 4 sites across Keighley that offer a step-down service to adults with complex mental health needs. We are a unique service which offers enhanced care to our Service Users to continue with their rehabilitation journey, including physical health monitoring with support from local medical centres. Each service is a large residential house with an office and is where you will help our Service Users to carry out routine daily tasks - everything from help with cooking, cleaning, activities in the community and encouraging independent living in their future. You will even have day trip visits to the seaside with service users as part of this role. At Beech Grove, you will have the chance to develop your skills and career. With a huge range of courses on offer, if you have the aspiration, capability and dedication, Elysium Healthcare can give you the support and opportunities to help you achieve your career goals. What you will be doing You will join the qualified and experienced team that supports people with mental health conditions. As a step-down service between Three Valleys Hospital and Independent Living, service users who are ready to leave the hospital setting but do not quite have the full life skills to live on their own in the community are supported. Whether you have been a Healthcare Assistant, Support Worker or a Care Worker, you can utilise your experience to support people to lead a valued and fulfilled life. We have a 4-tier working structure and all Senior Community Support Workers are on one level. You will report to a Team Leader with the Registered Manager and Deputy on-site daily and can be approached for support, questions and anything else you will need. The last staff survey identified that at our staff answered yes to the question 'I feel well supported by my line manager'. You will work across all four houses and encourage our Service Users to lead a full and valued life, helping them to live more independently, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. It can at times be a challenging environment, but regular feedback from staff is that it is hugely rewarding to see people improve; being able to do something today that they couldn't do last week because of you. As a 24/7 service the standard shift pattern is on a rolling two-week basis covering days, nights and weekends. Overtime is also available and occasional flexibility can also be offered. Community Support Worker duties include: Assist Service Users with their day-to-day activities i.e. Cooking, cleaning, washing, some personal care Contributing to individual recovery journeys Promoting independence and empowerment Writing and updating care plans Recording Service User electronic notes Promoting activities and supporting Service Users with in-house and community-based rehabilitation Issuing Medication General duties such as admin, cleaning, stock ordering, contacting external healthcare services The role in some of our community houses involves independent lone working, medication administration and contributing to CPA's, therefore some previous knowledge and experience in these areas is required.

We are the Emergency Duty Service, and we work outside of normal working hours, including at night, weekend's and bank holidays. The service comprises of a team of experienced Managers and Practitioners all of whom are qualified and experienced in all aspects of social work and we are all Approved Mental Health professionals to enable us to meet requests for emergency assessments under the Mental Health Act. We also have a team of experienced advisors who screen all calls and gather information and provide advice or re-direct the calls to the Social Work team.

Comments from one of our AMHP Senior Practitioners "I applied for the senior position with EDS 4 years ago, but I did not fully know what was expected of me. I was happy to move on from being a Mental Health practitioner to a generic team and a whole world of knowledge and experience was waiting for me to explore and gain. I was aware that it was going to be a challenging field and role as I did not have child protection experience but when I joined the team I was welcomed and given time and space to learn and grow further. Gradually my confidence in child protection increased, and day by day I learned new things, learnt to work in a small but very compact team, that cared and looked after each other. I would say that no shift is the same, we work together as a team, and we grow stronger and stronger with each challenge thrown at us. I would encourage any colleague to apply for this role as this will be very exciting and a great opportunity to apply your own skills and knowledge in practice and learn new ones in the process. You will be supported and encouraged to exceed in your career, no doubt. We all work together as a team and are passionate about our job."

An ability to empower children and their carers to enable their full participation in work undertaken. Knowledge of current Community Care practice and multi agency systems of Assessment and Care Management for Older People and vulnerable adults. Knowledge and understanding of relevant policy and recent research findings across all client specialisms. A commitment to anti-oppressive behaviour, practice and management. The willingness and ability to work in an open manner as part of a team, with a commitment to sharing and working alongside staff in your own and other organisations whilst at the same time recognising own management responsibilities. An ability to approach your work and duties in a culture of flexibility. The role requires you to be mobile throughout a wider operational area including travelling around the county of Essex and beyond, transporting service users and their belongings and to be able to do so in an emergency.
