Project Description
The Service operates in Cardiff working with Service Users (the majority of whom are rough sleepers) who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The Service helps people to find solutions to the problems they are facing. The Service aims to engage vulnerable adults into support services, either by providing or signposting the relevant support, thereby preventing instances of homelessness and increasing independence. The project is funded on a temporary basis by Cardiff Council.
Purpose of Role
To provide support to Rough Sleepers with general welfare, benefits, housing assessments, accessing health services, clothes bank, food banks and signpost to other Organisations as appropriate. Solutions is a One Stop drop in centre for Rough Sleepers and staff work alongside Cardiff Council and The Salvation Army to provide the best support we can offer.
To coordinate and provide support that enables and empowers Service Users to address housing and/or personal difficulties, needs, build their skills and confidence, and ultimately improve their ability to access and maintain accommodation. The support provided will not create or increase dependence. It will ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’, so it’s likely that support will sometimes involve accompanying Service Users initially, in order to familiarise them with an activity or appointment. Support will help people improve their control, understanding and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users to achieve their preferred outcomes.
This role is subject to an Enhanced DBS disclosure.
