About us it’s no 'Salfordinary City'
This is Salford’s time! We are changing and have ambitious plans for our modern global city, where our workforce can collectively make a real difference to the lives of local people. The council is people-centred, and values based which makes Salford a really great place to work. With a positive permission culture and can-do approach, we embrace innovation and nurture great talent.
About You
Your style and approach will reflect our values: you will be passionate about what you do always striving to improve things; valuing and respecting others’ contribution, with a people-centred approach to ensure our values are front and centre in all you do. You will take pride in working side by side with clients, all relevant agencies, and interested partners, to develop bespoke customer focused early intervention and prevention initiatives that promote tenancy sustainment and assist vulnerable people to participate in their communities. You will enjoy taking personal responsibility to understand and resolve issues and are able to adapt what you do and how you do it to make a real difference to people’s lives.
About the Roles
Within Supported Housing Service there are a number of teams with a focus on different clients groups. These teams work with people sleeping rough, refugees, ex-armed forces, people leaving prison services, people fleeing domestic abuse, clients with complex and enduring mental health concerns, and many other groups of people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Each team has its own demands, for instance working with people who are rough sleeping requires early morning and/or late night outreach to sleep sites. This will involve going out at 6am and then over future months continuing to work and support the people you have located, assisting them to access the agencies they need, and then into settled accommodation.
The ability to travel across the Salford, Greater Manchester and Lancashire areas, either using a vehicle insured for business use or using public transport as appropriate is essential. You must have a driving licence valid in the UK or satisfy the Council that you can make acceptable alternative arrangements.
What can we offer you?
You will be welcomed into a friendly environment where your personal and professional development will be actively encouraged.
Your work-life balance and wellbeing are really important to us, so you will have access to a range of benefits including:
* Flexible and hybrid working
* Free Car Parking
