About The Role

Join Our Team as a Mental Health Support Worker at Greenwood Cottage

We’re looking for exceptional individuals to expand the talented ranks of our Care Team at Greenwood Cottage. As a Mental Health Support Worker, you’ll develop a strong and progressive role within the Nouvita family.

You’ll be at the heart of what we do - whether it’s coordinating recreational groups, assisting with assessments for current/future residents, or supporting senior staff in delivering high-quality care. You'll interact with every department in the home and be a key part of our residents' journeys.

️ Your Role Includes:
  • ✅ Participating in the application of care plans and ensuring interventions are communicated clearly to senior staff

  • Assisting in the supervision of other healthcare/support staff

  • ️ Maintaining a safe, therapeutic environment for residents, relatives, and colleagues

  • Promoting a positive attitude toward mental health and rehabilitation

  • Supporting the coordination of recreational and group activities

  • Helping with assessments for current and prospective residents

In addition to hands-on care, you'll handle a small amount of admin - don’t worry, our systems are intuitive and easy to use for:

  • ️ Record keeping

  • Booking holidays

  • Editing/creating care plans

    • ️ Viewing and managing your hours
Opportunities for Growth

Many of our senior team members - including managers - started out as support workers. If you’re new to care or looking to grow your career, we’ll give you the tools and support you need to thrive.

Education & Training

We know healthcare training can be costly, confusing, or even misleading. That’s why we offer CQC-recognised, in-house training, designed to educate - not complicate.

Residents at Lavender Lodge often experience acute mental health disorders requiring specialised support. To prepare you:

  • You’ll start with a paid e-learning induction

  • ️ Followed by a 5-day paid classroom training programme

  • Continue with up to 11 annual training classes

  • Your ongoing development will be tailored to your role and the needs of the home

Benefits

We believe happy staff create a healthy, productive workplace. That’s why we offer a benefits package that supports your well-being and career development:

  • 28 days of annual leave, including bank holidays (pro rata)

  • ️ Blue Light Card – discounts with major brands

  • Refer a Friend scheme – earn up to £1,000

  • In-house training and development

  • Clear career progression opportunities across the group

  • Employer pension contributions

  • ✅ Fully funded DBS check
