Description

Hours of Work: 37.5 hours per week, Mon to Fri 9am-5pm

Project Description

A move-on service which provides single and shared flats and houses for up to 20 homeless young people in the Bridgend area who have less intensive support needs.

Support is usually provided for up to six months and often includes help with their personal development, with a particular focus on independent living.

We also provide outreach support to young people after they have moved-on from one of the three schemes into their own independent accommodation.

The Wallich believes that homeless and vulnerable people are individuals with varied and different support needs.

It is proven that their successful recovery can be benefited by living in a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE).

We want to provide innovative and trauma-informed services, like our young people's projects in Bridgend, and match people as best we can can to support which suits them.

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 coordinate and provide residential support 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 future or current 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 enable people to improve their control, understanding and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users to achieve their preferred outcomes.

In addition, to assist with the housing management needs of the project ensuring the delivery of a safe, secure and effective service.

No Agencies.

We do not accept unsolicited agency referrals for this position and do not consider any applicants, to have been introduced to us via agency.
