Job description

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Step Down Support Worker to play a pivotal role in our Complex Needs Service in Kingston.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

This role is responsible for delivering recovery-focused, person-centred support to service users across Kingston's supported accommodation services. You will develop and maintain independent living skills, wellbeing, and tenancy sustainment through key-work and personalised SMART support plans. Working in partnership with housing providers and external agencies, you'll assess referrals, manage risks, and support move-on planning to help prevent relapse or hospitalisation. The role includes supporting access to health, substance misuse, education, training, and employment services, as well as promoting social inclusion and skills development. You will work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure service coverage, meet contractual obligations, and deliver high-quality, empowering support that maximises independence.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

You will have experience supporting people with a wide range of needs, aspirations and associated risks, and a proven ability to deliver high-quality, person-centred support services. You will bring a strong understanding of welfare benefits, housing options and relevant legislation, alongside sound knowledge of health and safety when working in service users' homes. You will be confident in undertaking key working, support planning and risk assessments to promote independence, with a good understanding of mental health, substance misuse and related treatments. The role requires effective partnership working with external professionals, accurate record-keeping using computer-based systems, and a solid understanding of safeguarding and how to respond appropriately. You will be committed to ongoing professional development, flexible in your approach, and able to travel across the borough as required.

Interview Steps

We keep our interview process simple, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Shortlisting call: We have a team of dedicated recruitment specialists who will speak to you about your experience, motivations and values. They will also tell you about all the great work we do!
  • Face to face interview: Now you will have face to face interview with the hiring manager. Our interviews are value and competency based.

Don't be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it's all part of the plan for some of our roles.

Our commitment to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

Our services users come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes us stronger. We are committed to creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce and value the skills, abilities, talent and experiences, different people and communities bring to our organisation.

We are a disability confident employer

We offer a guaranteed interview scheme for all applicants with disabilities who meet the minimum criteria for the role they have applied for. We also provide reasonable adjustments during the selection and interview process, and throughout your employment with us.
