Are you looking for a challenging and rewarding role where you are able to empower people every day to develop their skills and move towards independence? Do you enjoy working in an environment where every day is different to the next? Then this could be the role for you.

You will be working as part of a large team to provide support to our clients who have mental health, substance misuse and physical health support needs.

Your positive attitude towards your work and others will help to contribute to a great working environment and developing a new, exciting service. You will have a calm and personable manner and be resilient to potentially difficult situations. This in turn will promote mutual respect, dignity, stability, confidence and self -worth.

- You will help them develop their practical skills in areas such as health, budgeting, shopping, cooking, housework, laundry and hygiene
- You will work with external partners to maximise the opportunities available to clients so that they can resettle in the community
- You will involve clients in the smooth running of the service
- You will be extremely conscientious in areas such as safeguarding and lone working.
- You will help clients to access the benefits they are entitled to claim
- You will help to maintain a welcoming, safe environment, identifying and minimising all potential risks to clients, colleagues and visitors to the service
- You will provide basic first aid assistance until help arrives (full training provided)
- You will maintain client records using relevant systems to an excellent standard
- You will work in accordance with the Health and Safety regulations and all policies and procedures
- You will attend supervision, appraisal, training and meetings as directed which may be outside your normal working pattern
- You will work flexibly across all areas of operation where required and prior notice given
- Any other reasonable task as requested by a member of staff

**KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, EXPERIENCE & ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS/TRAINING**

Previous experience in this type of work is not essential but you will have a real passion for wanting to work with homeless people. Your values will match ours, you will be committed to helping others and enjoy the real job satisfaction that this brings.
- Clear verbal and written English
- Good IT and keyboard skills
- Polite, assertive manner, ability to self -motivate
- Passion for working in a client/customer facing role
- Willing to assist clients to access the community
- Knowledge of the benefits system and tenancy legislation
- Interest and genuine concern for mental health, housing and related issues
- Knowledge of voluntary and statutory agencies

We were formed in April 2001 through the merger of the Society of St Dismas (founded in 1962) and St Petroc Housing association (founded in 1972). Both organisations shared a passion for housing and supporting vulnerable single people.

Our vision today is to give people who are homeless, vulnerable or in need of support, the opportunity to build a brighter future.

We have services in Berkshire, Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and Sussex.

We support 16-65 year olds. Our services include outreach to rough sleepers, supported accommodation (direct access hostels, move-on accommodation, and resettlement flats), day centres, community support, housing first and landlord support services.
