Relief Senior Support Worker in Torfaen

2 months ago


Torfaen, United Kingdom The Wallich Full time

Hours of Work: As and when required.

Introduction:

The Wallich is a homelessness charity which provides support services to homeless and vulnerably-housed people. The organisation formed in 1978 in Cardiff, and now supports around 4000 people a year across the majority of Local Authorities in Wales. The Wallich's values are of empowerment and treating people with dignity, respect and an unconditional positive regard. The principles of our work are based around solution focused working, harm reduction, and the creation of an environment where the people we support are actively and meaningfully encouraged to be involved in their support, and the development and delivery of services.

Project Description

The projects operate across Torfaen working with service users. The service provides residential support with the aim of meeting individuals’ needs, which promote independence and lead to a sustainable move-on. The project also provides housing related support within people’s homes or in the community, with the aim of preventing homelessness and increasing independence.  The project is funded through the Supporting People Programme Grant and is required to meet the Welsh Government’s National Outcomes Framework. The Framework’s four main aims are:

Promoting Personal and Community Safety.

Promoting Independence and Control.

Promoting Economic Progress and Financial Control.

Promoting Health and Wellbeing.

Purpose of Role

Our relief workers provide critical support to our projects, helping to cover short or long term planned and unplanned absences or gaps in our rotas. This helps ensure that we have high quality support in place for our service users at all times.

Sometimes this will be planned in advance, and at other times it may be at short notice to help cover a shift which has become unexpectedly available.

We take a flexible approach to relief work and there is no obligation on you to take shifts which are offered out if they're not convenient for you. This means you can work as much or as little as you like depending on the shifts available.

Please note: Driving Licence and access to own vehicle is essential for this role.
