We are looking for Support Workers who are approachable, warm, and able to connect with the adults we support at our mental health service in South Manchester.
This role involves supporting service users to develop their skills and knowledge so that they can go on to live more independently in the community.

You will have the ability to identify areas that a service user needs support, work with them to devise an individual support plan for their placement, and support them in implementing this plan. You will also be non-judgemental, a good listener, able to use your initiative, and be comfortable lone working and alongside others.
