Bank Staff required for DAY & SLEEP IN shifts: Accommodation Services, Brighton & Hove
We do not offer sponsorship with this role.
We operate several accommodation services in the Greater Brighton and Hove area, supporting clients with Mental Health diagnosis on their journey to independence and recovery.
Whilst our clients receive scheduled support during the day, we also operate sleep-in shifts where staff can be roused in case of crisis or emergency. The sleep in rooms are secure and have their own facilities with clean sheets for each team member.
About the RoleShifts can vary in length and time, and sleep shifts often run from 10pm until 8am following morning. The anticipation is that you will be able to rest, but can be available to provide support if a client requires it.
We are looking for staff with experience in mental health, or transferrable skills within a similar field. You must be able to work autonomously from the detailed support plans provided for each client to work flexibly across the many services we provide for clients with all levels of need within the mental health spectrum. You need to be resilient, adaptable, as well as confident in problem solving a variety of situations and presentations.
We provide support in a recovery focused way, always aiming to practice Trauma Informed support. Our goal is to guide our clients to regain or rebuild their independence and control over their own lives, helping them increase their confidence in themselves to be able to make their own decisions.
