Senior Support Worker

Basford & Netherfield, Nottingham

FitzRoy are recruiting for an experienced and passionate Senior Support Worker to join our supported living services in Basford and Netherfield, Nottingham.

This is a full-time role working across two mental health supported living services, supporting a total of 20 people to live independently, manage their mental health, achieve their goals and be active members of their local communities.

As a Senior Support Worker, you will play a key role in supporting the management team to deliver high-quality, person-centred support. You will act as a positive role model for colleagues, provide leadership and guidance during shifts, and be the main point of contact in the absence of the Manager.

The role includes 15 hours of dedicated off-rota time each week to focus on administration, compliance, quality assurance, staff support and service coordination, with the remaining hours spent providing direct support across both services.

You will work closely with colleagues, families, healthcare professionals and external agencies to ensure the people we support receive outstanding support. You'll help drive best practice, promote FitzRoy's values and contribute to a positive culture where both the people we support and our staff can thrive.

  • Supporting adults with mental health needs to live independently and achieve their personal goals.
  • Leading shifts and providing guidance and support to the wider team.
  • Acting as the senior contact in the absence of the Manager.
  • Supporting service quality, compliance and administration.
  • Building positive relationships with professionals, families and community organisations.

“It’s hard to put into words what has motivated me to stay at FitzRoy for 50 years. I love working with the people we support, it really is all down to them. The connection you make with them and the difference you are making is the real delight of the job.”

“You don’t become a support worker unless you want to help people and make a difference to someone’s life. That’s what made me want to do this job – I have always been a caring person and I wanted to help give people with learning disabilities a voice.”

“FitzRoy is such an incredible place to work, everyone really cares about the people we support. I am genuinely passionate about improving their quality of life, and when you see the people we support achieving a goal I feel immense job satisfaction.”
