We are Hestia. We make a difference.

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 Floating Support Worker to play a pivotal role in our Complex Needs Service in Hammersmith and Fulham.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

We are seeking a dedicated professional to provide holistic, person-centred support to a group of key service users linked to local mental health services in Hammersmith and Fulham. Using the recovery approach and SMART support planning, you will help individuals increase independence, maintain accommodation, and enjoy a good quality of life. This role involves visiting service users in various settings—including their homes, the community, supported housing, and hospitals—while devising effective interventions for those who are hard to engage. You will enable access to medical and mainstream community services, liaise with partners such as community mental health teams and housing services, and work collaboratively to address gaps in clinical and wrap-around support. Responsibilities include conducting needs and risk assessments, creating and reviewing SMART support plans, reducing unplanned hospital admissions, and encouraging engagement with networks and informal support systems.

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.

We are looking for someone with proven experience supporting individuals with mental ill health and complex needs, ideally within a community or outreach setting. You should have the ability to empower service users to achieve their goals and aspirations, alongside excellent knowledge of mental health issues, including signs, symptoms, and treatments. The role requires strong assessment skills to identify declining mental health and take appropriate action.

You will need a solid understanding of health and safety in community settings, key working practices, person-centred support planning, and the recovery approach. A commitment to equality, diversity, and promoting service users' rights, privacy, dignity, and choice is essential. Knowledge of welfare benefits relevant to the user group, safeguarding principles, and the ability to address safeguarding concerns appropriately are also required.

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 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.

Parks Cleansing Operative

Company Description

Established as an independent charity in 1992, The Parks Trust expertly cares for over 6,000 acres of beautiful and inspirational green space in Milton Keynes including parks, ancient woodlands, lakes, river valleys and 80 miles of landscaped areas along the city’s grid roads.

In most towns and cities, parkland is owned by the local authority, but Milton Keynes’ founders were pioneers and decided to do things differently. Their vision was to create a new town where the parkland and landscapes would be protected forever by a charity that was separate from local government. Doing so would ensure that, as the new town grew, its green spaces would never be compromised or have to fight for funding.

That all became a reality when The Parks Trust was set up in 1992. The new charity was given a 999-year lease on a total of 4,500 acres of Milton Keynes and an endowment of property valued at £20m. Returns on these carefully managed investments generate the primary source of income required to fund the charity’s wide-ranging work today and forever.

Over 100 staff and 240 volunteers deliver the essential work of The Parks Trust. In addition to landscaping and maintenance tasks, that also includes providing valuable recreation and leisure facilities, connecting communities at over 500 outdoor events each year, and advancing public education around the wildlife, biodiversity, and the environment.

As Milton Keynes grows, so does The Parks Trust. Each year, the charity takes on new green spaces and endowments from developers to cover costs in perpetuity. This approach ensures that all new areas of the city benefit from the same quality of inspiring, connected landscape and Milton Keynes remains a great place to live, work and play.

Position

Become a Parks Cleansing Operative at The Parks Trust to help keep Milton Keynes’ parks and green spaces clean for all to enjoy.
