Carmarthenshire, United Kingdom The Wallich Full time

**Introduction**:
**Project Description**:
The project is based in Llanelli and works across Carmarthenshire with Service Users, many of whom have complex needs. The service provides support to Service Users in Temporary Accommodation with the aim of meeting individuals’ needs, which promote independence and lead to a sustainable move-on. The project also provides housing related support with initial resettlement, with the aim of preventing recurring 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**:
To provide residential support that enables and empowers Service Users to address housing and/or personal difficulties, build their skills and confidence, and ultimately improve their ability to maintain their future or current accommodation. The support will not create or increase dependence. It will ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’, so it’s likely that support will involve accompanying Service Users initially, in order to familiarise them with an activity or appointment. Support will enable people to improve their control, understanding and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users to achieve their preferred outcomes. In addition, to assist with the housing management needs of the project ensuring the delivery of a safe, secure and effective service.
