Hours of Work: 37.5 per week (Monday to Friday)

Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?

At LinkLiving, our values and people are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff. It is important for us to find people who share our values, which are:

- Empathy (listen to and understand an individual’s needs and circumstances)
- Respect (treat others the way they wish to be treated)
- Integrity (be honest and have strong moral principles)
- Caring (show kindness and concern for others)

LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives. We support people through a range of models including:

- Personal development and employability programmes
- Self-help coaching
- Supported accommodation
- Care at home
- Housing support
- Befriending
- Social cafes

**The Service**

LinkLiving’s HoME service (Help on Managing Everything) provides an intensive housing management service to Link Housing Association tenants who are struggling to maintain their tenancies.

**The Job**

The purpose of the job is to support people with complex needs to maintain their tenancies through the provision of opportunities to enhance their independent living skills. You will offer specialist support, working closely with Housing Officers as well as the wider Mental Health & Wellbeing Services team.

You will be responsible for supporting tenants by providing high quality one to one support creating a plan with achievable goals for each client. The level and content of the support you will provide will be tailored to meet the needs of each individual, both in terms of frequency and content.

LinkLiving aims to provide ongoing learning and capacity building opportunities to enable more vulnerable people to actively participate in our service. This role will support that aim by ensuring that opportunities are provided to tenants, equipping them with the skills to make a valuable contribution to the service and their wider community. The Housing Project Worker will provide support and offer guidance to tenants, develop relationships with other agencies and services and actively promote LinkLiving’s services.

**About You**

You are a dedicated and compassionate professional with a robust understanding of working with individuals who have complex needs. Your background includes substantial experience in supporting clients through multifaceted issues, demonstrating your adeptness in providing holistic care and practical assistance.

Your knowledge extends to the essential skills required for independent living, and you possess a positive, can-do attitude, eager to offer hands-on support to those in need. You are well-versed in the various grants and resources available to individuals with low income, ensuring they receive the necessary support to improve their circumstances.

Effective communication is one of your key strengths, encompassing excellent written, oral, and IT skills. You are proficient in utilising evaluation methods to assess and enhance the effectiveness of training programs. Your approach is non-judgmental, and you are committed to embracing diversity in all its forms.

You excel in adapting to new environments and working collaboratively within a team, maintaining open and honest communication. Your ability to prioritise and manage both your workload and that of your team ensures efficient and effective service delivery. You are technologically savvy, comfortable with ICT equipment and experienced in using online client management systems.

Building and nurturing relationships with other voluntary and statutory agencies comes naturally to you, enhancing your ability to provide comprehensive support to clients. You are open to receiving feedback and using it constructively to improve your performance continuously.

Additionally, due to the role being community based and covering a large geographical area you hold a valid driver's license and access to a car, and are willing to travel between services as required, showcasing your flexibility and commitment to providing accessible support wherever it is needed.
