We are looking for a Mentor to join our existing Wise Community Mentoring Service, working in partnership with Places for People, to support households across The Lothians and Edinburgh City.

Working with Housing Officers, you'll offer in-home support to new tenants to help them manage all aspects of their tenancy.

This may include mental health, addiction, finances, training/education and behaviour change.

You'll do this by working with tenants to identify short, medium, and long-term needs that will lead them to sustain their tenancy by providing a holistic approach that helps them achieve this.

Tenants will have their needs assessed by the mentor regularly through documented engagement, outcomes and KPI's. Therefore, knowledge of IT and Microsoft packages is required. Having local knowledge of support services to link in within the area would also be desirable.
