Casual Support Worker

Working on an 'as needed ' basis, your role as Casual Support Worker will see you:

• Addressing service users practical and emotional needs - from helping them to find, volunteering and training opportunities, to enabling them to grow in social confidence


• Enabling service users to live as independently as possible, helping them to develop domestic management and finance management skills, and supporting them to move back into the community where this is possible


• Carrying out in-depth assessments of service users’ needs and risks – and developing individually-tailored support plans accordingly.

This is a great opportunity to join a team that’s professional, committed and passionate about making a difference to those most in need of our help. You’ll need:

• A track record in Mental Health or related field


• Experience of supporting, empowering and engaging service users in a range of developmental, rehabilitative and community activities


• Excellent communication skills


• The ability to work well under pressure and manage your own workload


• Experience of using IT and the proven ability to maintain up-to-date records and systems


• Good partnership working skills.

Managing more than 120 services nationwide, Richmond Fellowship provides an immensely diverse range of services to people with mental health needs. We offer great benefits, including 25 days’ holiday per year (pro-rata), contributory pension scheme, employee assistance programme and childcare vouchers.
