About Outward

For more than 45 years, Outward has provided high-quality support and care services to vulnerable people in London. We believe in engaging, enabling, and empowering the People We Support to make positive choices and live the lives they want.

About the Role

We are looking for Support Workers for two full-time 38 hours per week and one part-time 30 hours per week for our Enfield Supported Living Services which provide 24 hour care and support to people with learning disabilities and mental health.

We are looking for enthusiastic, creative and committed individuals to join the teams. If you feel you can bring a fresh approach, some new ideas and a commitment to supporting vulnerable people to have genuine control over their lives, play an active role in the community and develop as individuals then we want to hear from you. 

As a Support Worker your duties will include:

  • Provide support to individuals in line with agreed support plans
  • Coordinating packages of care and support for individuals and supporting individuals with reviews of support and any needs for long term care or support.
  • Demonstrate good IT skills, and be able to record information clearly and professionally
  • Good verbal communication skills; be able to liaise professionally with a range of external stakeholders, care managers, health professionals, other services and providers of support, and family members of customers.
  • Delivering a service that promotes and supports choice, empowers individuals, helps people take control of their own support and care, and increases their independence and self-determination.
  • Putting the person we support at the heart of your work, promoting each individual’s needs for independence, well-being and dignity
  • Flexible approach to working shift patterns, which will include evening and weekend hours, and bank holidays.

Positive Behaviour Support

Outward Housing supports people who are known to present behaviours of concern by using the Positive Behaviour support model because PBS puts the person first.

PBS is pro-active and the main focus is getting the environment right for the individual, rather than responses/reactions following challenging behaviour and on better supporting the person through improving their quality of life.

PBS approaches are based on a set of values of enabling inclusion, choice, participation and equality of opportunity. PBS is about working in partnership with the person, their family, staff and professionals.

Existing knowledge/experience in following the PBS approach would be beneficial but not essential as we do provide extensive training. A shared value of understanding and supporting a person’s behaviour and finding ways to work with them to improve this is essential.

Employee Benefits

We value everything our support workers do for the people we support, so we provide a great benefits package:

·        25 days Annual Leave excluding Bank Holidays (Pro-rata for part-time)

· Computing scheme

· Credit Union scheme

· Cycle-to-Work scheme

· Death in Service Benefit

· Health Assured – Employee Assistance Programme

· Eye Care Vouchers

· Flu Jab Reimbursement

· Long Service Awards

· Pension Scheme

· Purchase Additional Annual Leave

· Refer-a-Friend Scheme

· Retirements

· Loans (Including season tickets and parking permit loans

· Blue Light Card

 

Outward is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults at risk and expects all staff to share this commitment.  This post involves working with or having access to adults at risk and/or their records, therefore we will require an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Services for successful candidates. This will be fully subsidised by Outward.
