Overview:

Who are Pobl Group?

Pobl Group are a proud employer of over 2,300 colleagues providing diverse services and making a difference in communities throughout Wales.

Pobl is more than just a Housing Association, it's a multi-faceted business whose range of provision varies from care and support to individuals, through to commercial development activities.

We are the largest support provider in Wales and our awesome teams share a passion for becoming the very best at what they do, and love their jobs.

What is great about the role?

At Riverview, the people we support have their own tenancy but require low level support in ensuring they maintain their tenancy.

The team specialise in working with complex needs and in working closely with other agencies to develop transition plans for each person to work towards independent living.

Every day is different and every day you would learn new skills and have the opportunity to work with a variety of agencies such as social services, health visitors and community nurses.

Also, as a Pobl Difference Maker you really are part of something special where you and your opinions matter. We have a culture built on our values to be Positive, Considerate and Connected.

As a Scheme Support Officer your day will consist of:

Engaging with the people we support
Providing emotional support to the people we support
Carrying out welfare checks
Ensuring the building is secure and safe
Providing housing related support to ensure tenancies are maintained

Our aim is to ensure we equip the people we support with the knowledge and tools they need to live independently.

This is a challenging role and you will be faced with complex behaviours and needs, including alcohol misuse, mental health, substance misuse and physical disabilities.

You will work with a range of different personalities and behaviours so you will need to be able to adapt your approach to engage with a diverse cliental.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to really make a difference to the lives of the people we support and help them, build on their confidence and skills to move into their own tenancies within the Newport area.
