• You’ll be able to evidence post registration experience of working in a psychological informed environment
• You’ll have knowledge of mental health and various diagnosis, as well as neurodiversity, and you’re keen on updating your own knowledge and practice

Due to limits on our current certificates of sponsorship, we are not able to offer sponsorship to external candidates for this role. This remains under regular review.

Our team

You’ll join Greg our Clinical Practice Lead, who’ll be your line manager. Greg’s best friend is Rolo, his German Shepherd! You’ll also join a big team of supported living workers, 26 at the last count, including Alyssa who is the Registered Manager of our service.

You’ll join our expanding clinical team within the organisation, so you’ll have many peers to support and introduce to you to our Home Group approach. One colleague is Gemma, now our Clinical Practice Development Business Partner but who started in the Clinical Lead role and is a true example of how we ‘grow our own’ colleagues with development opportunities. Gemma’s take on the Clinical Lead role: “It really is as good as it looks! Your day is your own, you pick your own path”.

Job details

• Flexible working hours (or we’re open to agreeing a work pattern with you)
• You’ll manage your own diary, so if you need to work from home to take delivery of your new fridge or take a longer lunch for a haircut, you can use your flexi time to manage that!
• This is a service based role and you’ll spend most of your time at Aviary House, with occasional working at home.
• You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check done and we pay for that.
