Contract Type: Permanent
Location: Covering B&NES, Somerset, North Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire & Gloucester
Additional Information:
While the role is primarily 9-5, occasional early starts and late finishes may be required.
The Role:
As a Floating Support Worker, no two weeks are the same. One week you might be supporting clients in Domestic Abuse Services in Bath, the next in Supported Housing in Mendip, or working with an Outreach team in Gloucestershire. You'll be stepping into services that need an extra pair of hands - offering flexible, responsive support wherever it's needed most. You'll build meaningful relationships with clients, adapt quickly to different environments, and work alongside experienced colleagues who will support your growth.
We're looking for someone who's passionate about social issues, highly organised, and open to working in new locations at short notice. In return, you'll gain hands-on experience in risk assessments, support planning, and trauma-informed approaches - all while helping people stay safe, housed, and empowered.
Responsibilities Include:
Provide clients with advice, information, and an enabling service to help them access appropriate support.
Deliver a high-quality, person-centred service using a strength-based and trauma-informed approach.
Build professional relationships with external partners to enhance service provision and client outcomes.
Carry out any other duties within the scope of the post as directed by the Programme Manager or other senior staff.
Qualifications / Requirements:
A valid UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (business insurance required for travel).
Understanding of multiple and complex needs, and how these impact homelessness and social exclusion.
Ability to undertake needs assessments and support planning for individuals with complex social needs, including leading multi-agency working and partnerships
