About the Service

Enterprise Court provides supported accommodation for people with mental health needs, offering a pathway that helps residents build confidence, develop independent living skills and move towards more independent community living where appropriate.

The service supports residents across a range of accommodation settings, from higher-support rehabilitation placements through to more independent flats with floating support. The focus is on recovery, person-centred care and helping people develop practical skills such as managing medication, budgeting, cooking, routines and daily living.

Residents may need support with confidence, motivation, mental health recovery, advocacy and overcoming barriers to independent living. The service takes a trauma-informed approach and encourages meaningful engagement through structured activities, community outings and therapeutic opportunities.

What the Job Entails

As a Project Worker, you will play a key role in supporting residents with day-to-day living, recovery goals and personal development. This is a varied role where no two days are the same.

• Supporting residents with medication, meals, routines and daily living tasks

• Encouraging independence in areas such as budgeting, appointments, self-care and practical life skills

• Building trusting relationships and supporting residents to achieve their individual recovery goals

• Engaging residents in meaningful activities that promote confidence, wellbeing and social inclusion

• Working alongside colleagues, families and partner agencies to provide high-quality, person-centred support

• Responding appropriately to safeguarding concerns and incidents

• Completing support records, reviews and care planning using multiple IT systems

• Working collaboratively with colleagues to provide consistent, person-centred support

The role suits someone who is proactive, creative and confident taking initiative, whether that means starting a new activity, encouraging a resident to attend an appointment, or finding practical ways to build someone's confidence and independence.

What Type of Person Thrives in This Role?

• You enjoy building relationships and motivating others

• You are calm, flexible and able to respond to changing situations

• You value small steps forward and recognise the importance of everyday achievements
