What's great about the role?

Our project is a drop-in and outreach scheme for anyone who needs immediate support around Housing, debt and homelessness prevention. We also offer client engagement and organise community events to give people opportunities to connect, build confidence, and access the resources they need to improve their wellbeing and independence.

Our floating support team provide housing related support to assist in the prevention of homelessness. We offer support with budgeting, rent arrears, accessing grants, support to access future housing and help to set up their tenancy. We also support clients to sustain their current tenancy. We encourage the clients to deal with issues that may threaten their progression, especially with matters regarding behaviour, substance misuse, health and wellbeing, budgeting skills, benefits, life skills and household management.

What skills and experience do you need?

As a Floating Support Worker, you will inspire, challenge and enable people to lead successful and independent lives. You will work flexibly as part of a team to develop, implement and review support plans based on individual needs, preferences and aspirations. You will also thrive on building client relationships and coordinating meaningful community events.

Duties Include

• Offering appropriate levels of support in a sensitive manner, taking into account the emotional and intellectual needs of the client, respecting their choice and privacy.
• Liaise with external agencies, e.g. DWP, Social Services, Health Services, Probation, substance misuse and mental health services.
• Carry out all necessary administrative tasks in relation to the job; ensuring all client file notes, support plans and risk assessments are kept up-to-date.
• Attend Team meetings and training courses as required.
• Coordinate community events
  
  

To be a great Support Worker, you need energy, enthusiasm, integrity and to treat people with dignity and respect. You need to be reliable because people are depending on you. You also need to be a great communicator, both verbally and in writing and have basic IT and numerical skills.
