    Description

    We're looking for a kind, compassionate and resilient Waking Night Support Worker to join our IBIS House MH Step Down & Crisis service in Newham.

    £20,514.00 per annum, working 40 hours per week. Benefits include 25 days Annual Leave, pension schemes, staff discounts, healthcare and career progression.

    Want to feel like you're making a difference? You'll feel at home here.

    Making you feel at home here means helping you thrive in every way. That's why we offer a wide range of benefits, award-winning Learning & Development and a culture that welcomes all. These aren't token gestures - we've thought long and hard about how best to support our team. After all, our people are doing something amazing: helping to transform lives every day.

    Working in partnership with the London Borough of Newham and East London Foundation Trust, IBIS House supports people who are medically fit for discharge from mental health inpatient stays but have other barriers to discharge. These may include housing, living skills, accessing benefits or the community, or other interventions and will be on a person-centred basis. The main aim of the service is to provide short-term support to customers to link with longer-term services to reduce escalations in need, and reduce inpatient readmission and reduce pressure on inpatient beds.

    Waking Night Support Workers are responsible for ensuring continuity of this support service at night and for keeping service-users and the building safe. More specifically, you will:

    Understand the concept of recovery and apply those principles to develop an environment and service that enhances recovery.
    Put the customer at the centre of their support and promote optimism and hope for their increased independence
    Provide intensive support (both practical and emotional) to customers as required

    Shifts will be on a rota pattern and are from 22:00 to 08:00. Includes weekends and bank holidays.

    All applicants must be legally eligible to work in the UK by the start of employment as Look Ahead are not able to offer sponsorship.

    What you'll do:
    Be flexible and responsive to the needs of customers as directed by their personal support plan
    Proactively engage in learning and development activities to increase knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis
    Monitor and report on customer interactions, including escalation of any concerns or changes in customer's presentation or welfare
    Build supportive, trusting relationships with service-users and creating a positive atmosphere
