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 Support Worker to play a pivotal role in our Dual Diagnosis service in Brent.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

We are looking for a dedicated team member to empower service users in building independence and engaging confidently with professionals such as mental health teams, social workers, housing providers and employment services. You will play a key role in assessing support needs, advocating for service users, and ensuring smooth transitions between different levels of support. The role involves developing co-produced group activities, peer networks and community-based opportunities, while encouraging meaningful engagement and local support networks. You will also manage referrals, assessments and reviews, monitor wellbeing and safety, and contribute flexibly to the wider team. Strong administration, accurate record-keeping and a commitment to safeguarding and confidentiality are essential.

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.

Here's what the team will be looking for:

The ideal candidate will have experience working with individuals with mental health and/or dual diagnosis needs in either paid or voluntary roles. They will be able to learn quickly, gather and process information, make informed decisions, and maintain accurate records within confidentiality guidelines. The role requires the ability to work with individuals who may display challenging behaviour, using a calm, non-judgemental, solution-focused approach to defuse difficult situations and support positive change. Candidates should be optimistic about clients' capacity to change, able to work collaboratively to solve problems, and adaptable to a sometimes chaotic or pressured environment. A clear understanding of safeguarding principles and the ability to address concerns appropriately is essential, alongside a willingness to work unsociable hours, including early, late, and occasional weekend shifts as part of a team rota.

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

Hestia is proud to be a disability confident employer, dedicated to the employment and career development of individuals with disabilities. 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.

Safeguarding Statement

Hestia is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults, children and young people who are potentially at risk, and we therefore expect all staff and volunteers to do the same. We require all staff to undertake internal and external safeguarding training throughout their employment with Hestia.

Important Information for Candidates

If your application is successful, please be aware that you will be required to undergo pre-employment checks before a formal offer of employment can be confirmed.

We reserve the right to close this job advert early should we receive a high volume of applications or if the position is filled before the closing date. We encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible to ensure their application is considered.
