As a Housing Project Worker, you will provide housing related support and recovery support for people who have a history of failed accommodation placement, substance and/or alcohol misuse, issues with mental health, criminality, and often challenging and negative behaviours.

- Supporting tenants to maintain their tenancy by providing hands on, practical help and advice across our network of shared, supported housing.
- Liaising with Housing Services to ensure benefit claims are submitted and processed efficiently and effectively.
- Collecting, recording and banking rent and other incomes received by tenants.
- Working with a blend of Housing First and harm reduction techniques, you will be assessing need, preparing tenancy support plans and supporting tenants to achieve their individual goals.
- **Some of the skills, knowledge and experience you will have**_
- Experience of housing management or working in a residential setting with those with complex needs including challenging and/or negative behaviour.
- An excellent understanding of boundaries, confidentiality, and risk.
- Experience of supporting individuals to initiate and sustain long term recovery and tenancy sustainment in the community.
- Ability to undertake accurate and comprehensive assessments of need, identifying levels of risk, recovery potential and to establish immediate and longer-term recovery goals.
- Experience of providing a range of evidence-based interventions to individuals affected by homelessness, substance misuse and/or offending.
- An in-depth understanding and knowledge of the harmful effects associated with rough sleeping, homelessness, drug and alcohol misuse and offending in relation to health, social welfare, housing, and personal relationships.
- IT skills including the ability to use Microsoft Office Applications.
