About Us
Kirtling House is a highly successful Residential Mental Health Recovery & Support Service in central Winchester, and due to our continued success, we are looking to add to our staff team.
We are seeking an inspiring and compassionate person, who can work creatively alongside people with mental health needs on their journey towards greater wellbeing & independence.
Utilising your passion for empowering people with complex mental health and social care needs, you will be supporting individuals to increase their independence & life quality.
Your role will be encouraging and assisting people to complete and learn daily tasks such as cooking, budgeting and exploring opportunities in the community as well as supporting with skills to self-manage mental wellbeing.
Experience is not essential as we offer excellent training opportunities and a chance to work within a dynamic, friendly working environment, competitive pay, career development & other benefits.
However, a passion for supporting people to take control of their own lives and a belief in mental health recovery is crucial.
Please note that preference will be given to those with experience of working within the social care and/or mental health sector.
Because of the nature of our work, you will be expected to work early/late shifts, alternate weekends and sleep-in duties.
We are currently seeking to recruit to 1 x 37.5 hours per week Support Worker.
Please note we offer paid overtime and an additional enhancement for sleep in shifts (the advertised salary includes an average of 1 sleep shift per week).
Diversity and Inclusion
At Together we value and encourage diversity and inclusion within our workforce.
We are committed to creating a workplace where you can be your authentic self, welcoming applications from people from diverse communities and backgrounds who share our values.
As an employer, we are committed to making any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process.
Recruitment Process
Given this role involves supporting vulnerable people, successful applicants will be subject to a DBS check and satisfactory references prior to being offered employment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Regrettably, we are unable to provide sponsorship for non-UK nationals.
