Description

Are you passionate about making a lasting difference to the lives of vulnerable adults
Housing First is an innovative approach to supporting the most, excluded and hard to reach clients. It focuses on finding housing first; and then addressing the issues that have contributed to an individual's homelessness.

The Housing First service aims to support hard to reach clients with complex needs; by sourcing independent tenancies and providing intensive support into long term accommodation.

By adopting a flexible, creative and personalised approach, the service aims to support individuals to manage their tenancies in the community and rebuild their lives.

In the role of Housing First Worker you will work 9-5 hours Monday Friday; working with a person centred approach to support clients in their own homes as well as in the community.

We are recruiting for one women only worker and one non gender specific.

You will be responsible for managing a small caseload of clients day to day, delivering ongoing and intensive support to help people set up their home, with the overall goal of supporting them to sustain their tenancy and achieve individual goals and aspirations.
You will develop the skills to build and maintain effective relationships with local partner agencies to support clients throughout their recovery.

About you

We are always on the lookout for passionate people to join us who can work with a proactive and flexible approach.
