We are wanting to recruit a motivated and experienced support and recovery worker to support homeless and vulnerable guests at our daily drop-in, and in Hope House - our 4 bed supported house
Responsibilities
Our support workers both work with guests in both Drop-in and in Hope House, but each takes a lead responsibility in one or the other of these projects. This post holder leads on the housing management responsibilities for Hope House.
Drop-in responsibilities :
· Welcome and assess first time guests, identifying priority needs.
· Signpost and support guests to access key statutory and voluntary services, especially housing, benefits, homelessness services etc
· Provide practical support and advice to guests, for example with helping with forms, bill enquiries, budgeting .
Hope House responsibilities
- Vet the suitability of potential residents and support them with their transition in/out of Hope House
· Hold weekly individual support sessions with residents
· Ensure tailored support plans (using Homeless Outcomes Star) are in place for each resident
· Identify “next step” housing options for residents and work with the residents to access these.
Oversee the safe and efficient running of Hope House, taking into account any relevant Supported Housing/ HMO specific requirements.
