Description

Hours of Work: 37.5 hours per week, Monday - Friday 09:00-17:00 with some flexibility

Project Description
The service will operate in various localities/areas in Neath Port Talbot County Borough.

The service provides housing related support within people's homes or in the community, with the aim of preventing homelessness and increasing independence.

The project is funded through the Housing Support Grant and is required to meet the Welsh Government's National Outcomes Framework.

The Framework's four main aims are:

Promoting Personal and Community Safety
Promoting Independence and Control
Promoting Economic Progress and Financial Control
Promoting Health and Wellbeing

Purpose of Role

To provide support to the NPT FS team that enables and empowers Service Users to address housing and/or personal difficulties, build their skills and confidence, and ultimately improve their ability to maintain their accommodation.

The support will not create or increase dependence.

It will 'do with' rather than 'do for', so it's likely that support will involve accompanying Service Users initially, in order to familiarise them with an activity or appointment.

Support will help people improve their control, understanding and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users to achieve their preferred outcomes.

To act as the first point of contact for NPT's Gateway team to effectively manage the assessment and referrals of new service users.

To ensure that monitoring of service user needs are met.
