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.
