- Provide emotional and practical support, linking clients to referral agencies where appropriate
- Facilitate access to education, volunteering, employment or social and community engagement activities where possible to reduce social isolation and promote reintegration
- Connect service users with required resources, information and external services to assist in addressing presented issues and needs
- Document case management activities clearly and comprehensively in the required format, ensuring all follow up items are actioned and accurately recorded in relevant database/systems
- Ensure case management and support services are performed in accordance with set policies, procedures and legislative requirements
- Work in conjunction with Vinnies Housing Company in relation to any tenancy and property management matters which require action
- Maintain productive working relationships between property owners, lessors and sub-tenants
- Develop strong networks within the community and deliver advocacy for service users to establish access to support services and stable longer-term accommodation
