Carmarthenshire, United Kingdom The Wallich Full time

**Introduction**:
**Project Description**:
The project operates across Carmarthenshire working with vulnerable adults and young people who are at risk of homelessness. The project provides housing related support within people’s homes or in the community, with the aim of preventing 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 coordinate and provide housing related floating support for vulnerable people, particularly older people, people with substance misuse issues, mental health issues or learning disabilities who require low-level housing related support to live at home in the community and thereby reduce social isolation and delay or prevent admission to hospital or residential care.

The support will not create or increase dependence. It will ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’ to 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. Low level support recognises that some people require some form of longitudinal support.
