Stafford Staffordshire, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time

Do you have personal experience of street homelessness, substance use or mental health challenges and a passion for supporting others? If so, this is a fantastic opportunity to help shape an innovative service in Staffordshire, designed to support individuals experiencing homelessness (including street homelessness) to engage with essential services such as mental health support, healthcare, substance misuse services and long-term housing options.
The role will help build a continually developing community, not just a service, with true power-sharing at its core.
Proactive outreach support to people experiencing street homelessness
Provision of a bespoke 6 bedroomed accommodation service for people with experience of homelessness and complex needs which may include mental health, substance misuse and physical health needs.
At Turning Point, we support people across the UK with mental health issues. You will make a real difference to their lives as you work closely with them to help them achieve their potential. You will form part of a wider supportive team within the region and there is the opportunity for growth in the future.
As a complex needs recovery worker your role will be varied and flexible in its delivery. In the first instance you will help to establish access to the services by engaging with rough sleepers at street level and initiating a street-based triage to assess the most appropriate accommodation support required. You will need to have the confidence and experience to be able to gain the trust and confidence of rough sleepers, as well as the ability to advocate on their behalf with a range of housing providers.
Post assessment, the recovery worker will continue to work with guests as well as providers across housing, mental health and substance misuse to support a move in and sustainability of accommodation. Your role will be to provide motivational support to guests across dispersed housing including Turning Point’s new supported accommodation to help them to sustain engagement with health or other professionals and encourage them to maintain their ongoing treatment and recovery paths.
You will work closely with other providers / colleagues to collate and coordinate key information about guests with multi agency providers across mental health and substance misuse and to act quickly to advocate or coordinate multi agency rapid interventions to prevent impulsive actions leading to harmful situations and potential breakdown of support and threat to housing stability.
You will have relevant lived experience through directly using health and social care services. Our ideal candidate will have the Level 3 award in Understanding Substance misuse, as well as training in mental health and trauma informed approaches. Alternatively, you will be able to demonstrate extensive history or knowledge of working with homelessness and rough sleeping. 
You must be resourceful and innovative in your approach to working with individuals experiencing homelessness, and be confident and resilient, with the ability to work with and lead on aspects of the service development. Having good written and verbal communication skills and knowledge of IT and digital systems is important as well.
As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.
We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package.
You will get 32 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 34 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
