Support Worker roles in Chichester
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits Support Workers in and around Chichester for mental health services, learning disability support and community settings. The work is about helping people live the life they want, with as much independence as possible.
Working around Chichester
Work comes up near Summersdale, Whyke and Fishbourne, much of it within reach of St Richard's Hospital. Between University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust and West Sussex County Council, most of what we staff around Parklands sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Summersdale, Whyke and Fishbourne one week, Parklands, Bosham and Graylingwell the next. If you are based around PO19 or PO18, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
A typical shift
- ✓ Supporting people to access work, education, activities and their community
- ✓ Positive behaviour support and de-escalation, with training provided
- ✓ Medication prompting and support appropriate to your training
- ✓ Accurate notes and clear communication with the wider team
- ✓ Supporting people with daily routines and personal care where needed
- ✓ Encouraging independence, choice and everyday decision making
Shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Graylingwell is easier for you to reach than West Broyle, say so and the rota follows it. Once you are established we keep the work regular rather than sporadic, usually in the same two or three services around West Broyle.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Summersdale and Parklands first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
What you will need
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Patience, resilience and respect for the people you support
- ✓Good communication skills
- ✓Experience in mental health or learning disability support is desirable, not essential
How we work with you
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your West Sussex shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Chichester itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Portsmouth, Worthing and Southampton as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Chichester.
Tell us which parts of West Sussex you can reach and we will match you to what is open. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
