4 months ago
Trainee Housing Specialists will join a newly created Housing Team within Sussex Partnership Trust which looks to embed housing expertise across our adult mental health services. The role is a development opportunity for individuals interested in a career in Housing. Trainee Housing Specialists will be supported by SPFT's Housing Team and a host Local Housing Authority to develop the skills and knowledge through a structured programme of training, professional supervision, and peer support to become a Band 5 Housing Specialist within a 24-month period.
Trainee Housing Specialists will work with SPFT's Housing Team and a host Local Housing Authority to provide housing advice and interventions to people open to adult mental health services. Each Trainee Housing Specialist is assigned a host Local Authority area and accepts housing referrals for service users living in that area.
Successful applicants will have some knowledge of housing and homelessness legislation, processes, and coupled with experience of providing advice and working with people who experience severe and enduring mental health problems.
Trainee Housing Specialists will receive referrals for people using adult mental health services who have a variety of housing needs. With support you will be responsible for delivering specialist housing advice, assistance and interventions for adults using mental health services in a way that prevents or relieves homelessness, or improves poor housing quality. This will be done by completing full housing assessments, creating clear action plans that help address the persons housing needs, and coordinating activity required to secure a positive outcome. You will be expected to manage and prioritise a caseload of people who are in housing need across your designated area alongside contributing to an office hours team duty system in place for referrals across Sussex.
Trainee Housing Specialists will have formal working arrangements with the Local Housing Authority they are attached to. A part of this role will be preparing information on behalf of the Local Housing Authority for individuals who may be homeless or threatened with homelessness. Housing Specialists will act in accordance with mental health and homelessness legislation including statutory Codes of Guidance and policies relevant to their Local Housing Authority.
We recognise that working in mental health can be stressful at times so we prioritise staff welfare; providing regular supervision, mentoring, and any other support that our staff need to ensure their wellbeing. We also encourage flexible working.
We know that a positive work/life balance brings about huge health-related benefits, which has a positive impact on the care we provide. Please speak to us about flexible working, for example, partial home-working, part-time hours, or flexible start/finish times. If it works for you and works for the role, we'll do our best to make it happen.
Our vision is to provide outstanding care and treatment; the people that we employ are at the heart of making this vision a reality. If you've got the passion, the belief, the drive and the talent to help us achieve our vision then we would like to hear from you.
To protect the health and safety of our staff/workers, patients, and those attending our sites, we encourage our workforce to get fully vaccinated against COVID.
To deliver specialist housing advice, assistance, and interventions to people who use our services in relation to their housing needs which will prevent or relieve homelessness, secure good quality and longer term settled housing solutions, and reduce financial hardship.
To work between local mental health and housing systems to ensure people who use our services and staff receive high quality and timely specialist housing input and access to wider housing teams and referral pathways.
The position will be primarily based within the district they are assigned to in a variety of settings with applicants expected to travel within the district. On occasion this may involve travel outside of the district.
