Come to join a team of fun and outgoing staff who every day push the limits and expectations of the world of support!

All our training is provided by our full time inhouse Trainer who is fully accreted to deliver all face2face training. No eLearning in your own time as we believe that is your time, family time, R&R time. All staff have a fully paid for six-day induction before commencing your journey with us at Prudent. You get to meet the amazing team and learn about each other's experiences, skills, and knowledge that we all bring to Prudent Supported living.

You will be working alongside our full time Junior Psychologist who supports all our service users and ensures we always provide the best support possible. Each service user has a full and in-depth PBS plan (Positive Behaviour Plan) that you will be very much part of.

What other paid employment sends you out to have fun and support an amazing person to reach for the goals in life and to challenge our own self-limiting achievements? Go Paddle boarding, swimming, cycling, cinema, to a gig, theatre, collage, holidays, sporting events, the list is endless.

Our service users are supported and encouraged to aim high and reach for life's goals, and when things don't go to plan, we support our service users to learn and take this onboard and try, try and maybe try again.

You will also be required to keep up to date and accurate daily notes and reports concerning the service-user you have been on shift with, so it is important that you are comfortable writing in clear English.

At Prudent Supported Living we don't want to hold anyone back at all in life so we have joined up with a fully funded training provider who will support you to reach your goal and achieve what you are wanting to achieve in your working career. That could be a NVQ Diploma in Health and Social Care Level 2, 3, 4, 5 or even a 7 or something else. We don't want your journey to not stop with us at Prudent Supported Living but for you to keep growing and learning just like our service users will do with your amazing support and skills that you will bring to Prudent Supported living.

Shift patterns are as following:

8pm - 8am for waking nights (life does not stop just because the night shift has arrived)

8am -8pm for day shifts (the fun can now restart once fully charged after a good night's sleep)
