Our Vulnerable Adult Lead Worker service provides targeted housing, health, wellbeing and social support to vulnerable citizens over the age of 25 in the city.
The service works alongside other housing, health and social support service providers within Birmingham City Council’s Vulnerable Adult Housing Pathway; the Pathway is designed to help vulnerable citizens avoid homelessness, reduce harm, live healthier and more independent lives, and integrate into their local communities.
We provide interventions to help citizens sustain their current accommodation if it is at risk and/or source alternative accommodation if they are unsuitably housed. We also provide support and work alongside key partners to help citizens address other social related issues, such as benefit/welfare reform processes, helping to maximise people’s incomes, signposting to relevant primary and secondary health care services and more.
The citizens we support will be experiencing several current and/or historic health and social complexities, including substance use, poor mental health, a history of homelessness, an offending history, and may have been excluded from other services, or risk being excluded from services. Our service provides flexible, personalised, community-based support and interventions to citizens for up to 2 years.
Citizens will be offered face to face and virtual interventions based on risk, need and citizen preference. Lead Workers can deliver their interventions from citizen’s homes, community venues, our office base and from home, utilising our hybrid-working service design.
The core service operates Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm, however there may be a need for and scope to work outside of core business hours including evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
