About the Resettlement Worker role:
As a resettlement worker you will provide flexible housing related support to vulnerable clients across the service. Clients within the service will often be experiencing multiple disadvantages, including substance misuse, mental and physical health issues and contact with the criminal justice system.
The resettlement worker will need to be resilient, innovative, flexible and creative, working alongside support workers to support clients in becoming move on ready. You will also need to be able to facilitate appropriate move-ons from the service by identifying tailored move on support for each client dependent on their support needs, which will require knowledge of housing pathways.
The resettlement worker will be expected to develop strong relationships with housing providers, including private rented sector landlords.

A demonstrable understanding of the Recovery Model, and the ability to engage and motivate people to move towards independence and inclusion.

A good understanding of the housing pathway to ensure effective and suitable move on options are offered to clients. This includes an understanding of the private rented sector market and ability to broker safe and affordable Move-on options.

A proven ability to create and deliver SMART Resettlement action plans with clients through high quality risk and needs assessments.

A working knowledge of Housing Management as applied to a residential setting, and / or client’s move on accommodation.

A level of numeracy sufficient to carry out tasks such as budgeting with clients, calculating benefit entitlements and monitoring rent payments.

A proven ability to work in partnership with external stakeholders, particularly community mental health services and/or substance use services.
Our attractive benefits package includes:
A salary increase after successfully completing six month's probationary period

A 37.5 hour working week including flexible working hours (core hours are 10am – 4pm) in non-accommodation services
