Location: Onsite at Crisis Skylight South Wales (163 St Helens Road, Swansea, SA14DQ) with travel to Bridgend
Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.
About the role
The Critical Time Intervention (CTI) Worker will provide person centred assistance during the transition from custody to community integration. By following the Critical Time Intervention model the CTI Worker will collaborate with a range of services to enable the individual to access them and use a range of appropriate interventions to assist the individual to become more independent and connected.
We are bold with a culture of continuous improvement and there will be opportunities to contribute to ensure we are providing the best possible service. This also combines with an equitable approach to ensure that any systemic barriers are challenged and that the voices, experiences and stories of people navigating this transition are heard. The impact of this work will continue to build on the evidence that the CTI service ends homelessness.
About you
* Being person centred to build relationships, use assessments and develop goals and actions that are based on what is important for the individual.
* Working within the principles of the Critical Time Intervention model and understanding the challenges faced in the transition from custody to community integration.
* Building and maintaining good working relationships within HM Prison & Probation Service and other organisations to assist with receiving referrals, signposting, making external referrals and advocacy.
* Promote engagement with co-production opportunities within the service as well as actively seeking feedback on service delivery and improvement from the people accessing the service.
* Using reflective practice, caseload management meetings and personal development opportunities to deliver a quality service and work within the values of Crisis.
* Being able to identify and manage safeguarding concerns utilising a range of communication methods.
