What it means to be a Mental Health Support Worker in Supported Living & Community Outreach settings…
Support Work is often associated with caring for the elderly or proving residential care for individuals with learning disabilities. However, there are numerous other areas within the broader youth and adult Health and Social Care sector.

Our company is a provider of Supported Living services for adults. We assist service users with a wide range of support needs, including mental health conditions, alcohol and substance addictions, learning disabilities, autism/Asperger's, trauma, self-harm, suicide attempts, personality disorders, and other challenging behaviours.
​
Our goal is to help individuals develop or regain as much independence as possible. By tailoring our support to individual needs and using person-centred support planning, we provide guidance and assistance in the following areas:
-
Finding and maintaining accommodation, keeping a clean and tidy environment, and managing bill payments.
-
Assisting with benefit applications and correspondence

Managing finances, budgeting, and debt

Supported Independence has given me great opportunities to work in England as a mental health support worker. Trust is a major aspect of their work with clients and service users. They recognised my hard-work and dedication working with service users by giving me an end of year award.

I appreciate the opportunity I was given to develop both professionally and personally…

JF, Support worker
We loved how the company looks at each employee as an individual, for example allowing an employee to have 6 months off when really needed. We also thought the wellbeing champions and focus on wellbeing was great. The management came across as open and approachable and the community integration with the police and CQC were stand out elements. We also liked the innovative approach used when a problem arose i.e. re the sleep-in rules.
