Harbour Homes UK Ltd is an adult specialist care provider currently providing residential and supported living services to Kent residents in the Herne Bay area.
We are currently recruiting for a new 5 bedded Supported Living service in Canterbury, for adults with complex mental health needs, including learning disabilities and autism, requiring 24-hour support and personal care.
We provide intensive support for adults with complex and challenging conditions.
Our person-centred approach gives individuals control plus opportunities to increase independence through flexible support packages.
Our Support Workers provide intensive support and rehabilitation to the service users whilst empowering them to develop skills to live meaningful independent lives.
As a Support Worker you will become a key member of our team, undertake Keyworker responsibilities, work with an individual in promoting independence and regaining self-belief, form positive relationships with service users, families and other professionals.

We are always on the lookout for talented and dedicated individuals to come and join our team. In recognition of this we offer a bonus scheme to existing employees. There is no limit on the number of people you can recommend.
If an existing employee recommends a friend or family member who is recruited and successfully completes their screening and probation period, you will be paid a £200 bonus in the month following the new employee's probation end date.
