Description

Job Description:

Due to growth of our current successful accommodation service in Eastbourne, Venture People are seeking experience staff to work waking night shifts to our vulnerable client group. Providing support for people with mental health diagnosis to live independently and assist with community engagement, working to prevent crisis and hospital re-admission.

Having successful accommodation services in the Sussex area, we are able to support individuals leaving more formal mental health settings including hospitals. We provide a safe and supported accommodation service which can act as a bridge to further independent living.

At Venture People, we do not provide personal care, but seek to work with our clients, overcoming obstacles and identifying possible triggers, to help them transition into a community setting, taking care of their own space.

The service comprises a number of self contained units and to ensure we are providing the best support possible, we include waking nights cover. You will be based in the on-site office, but be available to provide support and guidance to any clients needing additional help or experiencing a crisis.

You will typically work longer nights and therefore fewer weekly shifts with an enhanced pay rate to cover unsocial hours. We offer a full induction and ongoing training alongside work shadowing and regular supervisions with your line manager.

This helps us to ensure our staff are provided with the best possible development and training, enabling them in turn to provide the highest calibre of support. All action plans are agreed with our clients and with their direct input ensuring that our clients remain at the heart of our service

Essential Skills:

  • You must be authorised to work in the UK – we do not currently provide sponsorship.
  • A good level of written and spoken English
  • Able to travel to the Eastbourne area

Desired Skills:

  • Previous experience within a Mental Health setting or an interest in the provision of Mental Health care
  • Previous night working experience

About The Company:

Venture-People is an award-winning organisation, formed from our shared ambition to provide high-quality and psychologically informed support.

We provide bespoke, community-based support to individuals with a complex need; including a mental health diagnosis, neurodiversity, or may have endured trauma.

The people we support may have spent an extended period in hospital or other setting, therefore we utilise a person-centred approach; empowering individuals to become as independent as possible within their own home.
