SUPPORT PLANNER HOMELESS FAMILIES,, NOTTINGHAM, PERMANENT, 37HRS, GRADE 3 CORE - £25,235 FTE
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Support Planner to work within The Homeless Families Service to support Homeless Families with low support needs.
The service provides temporary supported accommodation for 32 families, 6 families are housed within the hub, staff are also based here. The remaining 26 families are living in dispersed properties within the Nottingham City boundary.
Referrals to the service come through the Local Authority, we work closely with the Local Authority to reduce the use of B+B accommodation for often vulnerable families. We are looking for workers who respond well to an often-fast paced service and like a challenge.
Support will focus on addressing immediate and short-term support needs, resettlement, move-on and rents, these form the majority of tasks.
The safety and wellbeing of families with children is paramount so a focus on Housing Management is a priority. There will be a high turnover of families moving in and out of the service so the accommodation will need to be turned around in a short time span.
We are looking for reliable, friendly and enthusiastic candidates with an understanding of Safeguarding and a desire to work with often vulnerable families and children.
