Homeless Pathway Officer

6 days ago

Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Upkeep Care Full time

Location:

This role will predominately be based in Birmingham at the house in B45, however you may on occasions need to travel to Birmingham city centre area


Since November 2021 Birmingham has had a Homeless Pathway Team working across the Acute hospitals within Birmingham to identify those Birmingham citizens who are homeless.

This model provides support to those individuals as early as possible or to avoid admission and can include support to find accommodation, register as homeless or to access Birmingham Home Choice.


Over the last 18 months, there has been a steady increase in the number of citizens presenting as homeless who have mental health and/or learning disabilities.

This has meant that when they are presenting homeless on the day or becoming ready for discharge there has been a lack of suitable accommodation to meet their needs.

This is even more evident in the out-of-hours cases where citizens are not able to access suitable temporary provision.


In summary, this pilot proposes to offer a 24/7 Homeless Pathway Model for those citizens who are some of our most vulnerable.

This will include supporting an assessment house/safe space, providing a safe and calming environment for citizens at their time of crisis.

This will allow suitably trained staff to complete assessments and for robust processes to be developed so that the citizen can move on in a coordinated and holistic way.


Role Purpose


When citizens experience crisis including homelessness its essential that they can receive support and assessments to determine the most appropriate pathway for them.

This doesn't mean that they need to be detained or in an inpatient facility for this to happen.

The purpose of the Homeless Pathway Officer will be to:

  • To provide a dedicated point of contact for organisations to contact to discuss citizens who have mental health and/or learning disabilities and their homelessness
  • To create robust pathways and links with relevant partner organisations to enable swift referrals to support citizens
  • To work alongside the Advanced Mental Health Practitioners (AMHP) to assess and risk assess citizens for access to the accommodation, including potential move on arrangements
  • To provide a welcoming environment for citizens who are accessing the accommodation
  • To make a key contribution to ensuring that the service delivers against the core project performance indicators
  • To develop a robust plan on how to engage and upskill staff from Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust on the process and pathway for citizens who are homeless including early identification
  • To promote with landlords the benefit of renting to citizens and explain the support available to encourage more take up of renting where appropriate
  • To work alongside the Birmingham Housing Solutions and Support to ensure that citizens are given access to appropriate support at the right time including Homeless Applications


Overall, we are looking for people who have a genuine desire to empower individuals to make positive changes and will be committed to our recovery ethos.

If you understand the needs and support requirements of people with mental health and other associated needs. You will have good communication skills with an ability to establish an effective

working relationship with citizens and stakeholders.

If you are willing to learn we will provide you with support and supervision to build the necessary skills and abilities to carry out comprehensive and individualised assessment and action planning and increase your knowledge and understanding of the statutory service provision.

  • To work in partnership with other members of the Homeless Pathway Team
  • To ensure that citizens are demonstrably and successfully involved in developing the service going forward.
  • To undertake joint work with Adult Social Care, Birmingham Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust to deliver the service priorities.
