Support Worker

Creative Support is seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Recovery Support Worker to join our dedicated team, supporting individuals with mental health needs. Our scheme consists of 7 self-contained flats within Newcastle and is part of the city’s strategy to provide a wider range of living options for vulnerable people.

Your role will involve positive communication and engagement, demonstrating unconditional positive regard for the people we support. You will work within a positive behaviour support framework, accepting responsibility and growing in confidence as a skilled practitioner. This role requires the ability to follow agreed guidelines and work positively within a consistent, mutually supportive team ethos.

This position offers unique and challenging opportunities, bringing great job satisfaction to those looking to make a positive difference in the lives of others. We provide relevant training, including accredited health and social care diplomas through our training academy. You will work flexibly on a rota, which may include evenings, weekends and nights. In addition to opportunities for personal and career development, we offer good conditions of service and a supportive, hands-on management culture.

If you are a calm, resourceful individual who is well-motivated, hardworking and keen to join our team, we would love to hear from you.
