Support Worker roles in Richmond
Protocol Healthcare Services recruits Support Workers in and around Richmond 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.
Where the work is in Richmond
Work comes up near Richmond Hill, Richmond Riverside and Richmond Green, much of it within reach of Kingston Hospital. Between Richmond NHS Foundation Trust and the local council, most of what we staff around Kew sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Richmond Hill, Richmond Riverside and Richmond Green one week, Kew, Ham and Petersham the next. If you are based around TW9 or TW10, you are inside the area we cover most heavily.
The job day to day
- ✓ 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
When you would work
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Petersham is easier for you to reach than North Sheen, 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 North Sheen.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Richmond Hill and Kew first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Before you apply
- ✓Patience, resilience and respect for the people you support
- ✓Good communication skills
- ✓Experience in mental health or learning disability support is desirable, not essential
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
Working with Protocol
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your London shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Richmond itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Hounslow, Kingston upon Thames and Ealing as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Richmond.
Tell us which parts of London 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.
