About the Role
We are seeking a Mental Health Rehabilitation Worker to cover the night shift in our Lewisham-based service, which offers specialist intensive rehabilitation for people requiring enhanced interventions beyond commissioned community services.

You will help create a safe and empowering environment, build relationships with relevant partners, and develop support plans. You will plan and facilitate activities and support residents in achieving greater independence.

Night staff are expected to remain awake, alert, and actively engaged throughout their shift. Sleeping on duty is strictly prohibited and may result in disciplinary action, including dismissal.

- Providing night support and supervision across two nearby residential properties
- Monitoring residents’ wellbeing through regular checks and responding to incidents or emergencies
- Supporting residents to achieve recovery and rehabilitation goals to promote independence
- Maintaining accurate records and handovers to ensure effective communication between shifts
- Ensuring a calm, safe, and supportive environment that promotes positive engagement and progress
- Collaborating with colleagues and management to deliver high-quality care
- Remaining alert and monitoring CCTV throughout the shift
- Completing routine night duties and any tasks handed over by day shift or service manager
- Key worker duties including inductions, support plans, reviews, risk assessments, welfare checks, record updates, managing access and unauthorized visitors, following missing person protocols, and escalating issues as needed
- Health & Safety responsibilities such as property checks, reporting maintenance issues, keeping communal areas clean and safe, and completing required reports (AINMs and others)

Experience
- Previous experience working with people with multiple complex needs including mental health, substance misuse, alcohol, and challenging behaviours
- Experience creating co-produced support plans, key working, care planning, and providing appropriate interventions
- IT proficiency including ability to learn new software and basic Microsoft applications
- Understanding of housing and social needs of people with multiple and complex needs
- Awareness and/or practical knowledge of social marginalisation related to mental health, addiction, exploitation, homelessness, and previous convictions

About You
You are a resilient and compassionate individual committed to supporting residents to reach their full potential within a flexible, recovery-focused service. You provide high-quality care, work collaboratively within a supportive team, and value communication, empathy, and empowerment. You are proactive, remain engaged during quieter hours, and contribute to smooth service operation and achievement of service KPIs.
