* Provide housing advice to clients in order for them to maintain their tenancies including advising clients of their rights and responsibilities as well as advocating on their behalf as necessary.

* Support clients to upskill regarding daily living skills, to enable them to sustain their accommodation independently, including bill management, and household management

* Support clients to develop and maintain the social skills necessary to ensure positive neighbourhood relationships are developed and maintained.

* Take part in running activities or groups in response to identified client needs.

* Support clients that are ready to move into work, education or training to access suitable courses or placements.

* Minimise risks to clients by identifying, reporting and following up any safeguarding concerns and incidents.

Please note, this role involves lone working

To apply for this role, you must have;

* Experience of working with homeless clients with additional complex needs including substance use and mental health.

* Experience of holding a caseload, conducting support plans and risk and needs assessments

* An understanding of how to support clients to carry out tasks such as budgeting, calculating benefit entitlements, manage rent arrears and managing bills.

* An understanding of housing legislation, types of tenancies and renter rights

* Experience of working in a client-centred support service working with vulnerable people presenting significant levels of need and risk.

* An understanding of the range of approaches appropriate to working with issues such as substance use, mental and physical ill health, dual diagnosis, challenging behaviour, risk of homelessness and offending.

* The ability to effectively liaise with a range of service providers and agencies in order to establish or improve services for clients.

* A good and current understanding of safeguarding issues and the ability to undertake comprehensive risk assessments.

* The ability to work within a strengths and recovery based model, and engage and motivate people to move towards an appropriate level of independence and inclusion.

* Experience of Floating Support

* The ability to use a computer to input data accurately, to communicate effectively through emails and to produce good quality minutes of meetings, client notes, letters and reports.

Candidates must confirm their interest as soon as possible, with interviews scheduled shortly after and the appointed candidate expected to start as soon as possible.

* Employment or education history to cover the last 5 years which can be verified through the referencing process

How to apply:

If you feel that you fully meet the above outlined criteria for this role and would like apply for this post, please forward your CV for consideration.
