Are you passionate about supporting people with mental health problems to maintain their independence, recovery, health, and wellbeing? Would you like to join an organisation which is at the forefront of ensuring that the voices of people with mental health problems are listened to across Wales and beyond?
We are looking for Case Worker in our Neath/Port Talbot service Homeless prevention service.
We are committed to supporting flexible/remote working.
In Neath/ Port Talbot, you will be working across both our services, homelessness prevention and floating support.
Homeless prevention
You will be working with people who are homeless, at risk of losing their tenancy and who have mental health difficulties. You will provide support to secure housing and prevent homelessness. This includes benefit and debt advice, access to longer term support and finding ways to help improve your mental health.
Floating Support
You will provide support to people in their own homes helping them maintain their individual health and wellbeing with the aim of preventing tenancy being put at risk. We work to ensure that any potential housing crises are averted, through ensuring that benefits are in place, or that rent arrears, or tenancy issues are being positively managed.
We work with people experiencing challenges with their mental health, and with communities who want to create a greater sense of wellbeing in the places that they live. Through our projects, we work with thousands of people each year.
We know we can't 'fix' people, but we can walk alongside people and help where we can on their journey.
Platfform is the charity for mental health and social change. We're a supportive team where you can be your whole selves, and know that you're playing a genuine part in building a happier future for people across the UK.
