Assistant Support Worker - Lord Alexander House

Make a Real Difference Every Day - Join Our Team at Lord Alexander House!

Are you passionate about helping others live their best lives? We are excited to offer a full-time opportunity (37.5 hours per week) for an Assistant Support Worker at our supported living service in Hemel Hempstead.

At Lord Alexander House, you will be part of a warm, dedicated team that empowers individuals with mental health needs to live independently in their own purpose-built flats. Located in the heart of town, close to shops and local amenities, our service offers 24-hour outreach and emergency phone support - ensuring the people we support always feel safe and supported.

As an Assistant Support Worker you will;

  • Provide appropriate support to individuals who are living in their own homes or in a supported housing setting to enable them to support their aspirations and maximise their independence.

  • You will not be providing personal care but your role will involve promoting life skills such as shopping, managing budgets and supporting with domestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning.

  • Build long lasting support relationships with people who will benefit from you "being the difference".

  • Follow agreed support plans and risk assessments to ensure that we are providing a service that meets each individual’s needs.

  • Need to have a full UK drivers’ licence and use of a car for work purposes.

We offer a structured induction, comprehensive training, and ongoing on-the-job support to help you succeed and grow in your role. You’ll also have the chance to gain an accredited vocational qualification, opening doors to further opportunities within Hightown’s wider care and support network.

It is essential that you hold a full UK driving licence and are happy to do sleep-ins (minimum one per week - we make payments of at least £52.78 in addition to your basic pay).

Hightown Benefits:

  • Generous annual leave allowance of 33 days per year, including statutory bank holidays, rising to 35 days with service

  • £24,570 pa for a 37.5 hour a week contract

  • We make sleep in payments of at least £51.78 (in addition to your basic pay)
