At Milestones Trust, we understand that to build the right support for a person we need to understand their individual care needs, wants, and ambitions and to adapt to their changing circumstances and desires as they progress through life.


Felix House is a 24 hour residential nursing service for 11 adults with enduring mental health and support needs.

At Felix House we support people to manage and maintain their mental health and wellbeing, and learn skills required to regain their independence and empower them to move on to more independent accommodation.

Flexibility is a must, as you will be working a variety of shifts, which will include days, waking nights and sleep-ins, to ensure the consistent, high quality care of the people we support. Experience within the sector is desirable but not essential, as we will provide you with training required to carry out your duties. If you have good values, are kind and compassionate and want to make a difference in peoples’ lives, we want you.

As a Support Worker you will ensure that the people we support are at the centre of their support package. This may include accessing the in-house development programme that includes bite-sized workshops, like IT skills, life skills, relaxation techniques, healthy eating and exercise.

You will also support them in developing and maintaining relationships with family and friends, and accessing external programmes and activities, such as bush craft, job skills, volunteering, assertiveness skills and art and woodwork classes.

Supporting with administering medication is a requirement of this role so a willingness to undertake medication competency training is essential.

The successful Support Worker will have a caring manner and a tolerant nature, be able to work proactively, both collaboratively with the team and lone working, while supporting the people to meet their goals and aspirations in the community setting.

You will have excellent communication skills, emotional intelligence and maturity and will be willing to engage in training and learning to support the development of yourself and those around you.

At Milestones Trust we recognise that without the hard work, commitment and passion of our staff, we wouldn’t be the charity that we are today. In return, we are committed to rewarding you with a competitive pay and benefits package including:
• 30 days annual leave entitlement (including all recognised public holidays)
• Company pension scheme, to help grow your retirement pot
• Learning and development opportunities to help you to build your career, including a comprehensive induction programme, and the opportunity to undertake further qualifications
• Health Cash Plan on completion of probation giving you access to a minimum of £695 cash back for health treatments e.g. dental, therapies, optical, maternity/paternity, NHS prescriptions etc.
• Generous Occupational Maternity/Paternity pay
• Get paid when you want – access your money as you earn it and request your earnings before payday using Dayforce Wallet
• Access to an Employee Discount Platform from day one, with discounts and cashback for hundreds of retailers
• An employee referral scheme that allows you to earn money for referring friends and family.
We pride ourselves with delivering the best person centred care, treatment and support, to enable people to live the lives they choose, to meet their goals and aspirations.
