Support Worker, Swansea Substance Misuse

4 months ago

Swansea, United Kingdom The Wallich Full time

**Introduction**:
**Project Description**:
The project operates across Swansea working with Service Users who will be stable and/or in treatment or recently released from Prison and engaged in relapse prevention work with the Substance Misuse Service. The service provides residential support with the aim of meeting individuals’ needs, which promote independence and lead to a sustainable move-on. The project also 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

**Purpose of Role**:
To provide residential support that enables and empowers Service Users to address housing and/or personal difficulties, build their skills and confidence, and ultimately improve their ability to maintain their future or current accommodation.

Support will 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. In addition, to assist with the housing management needs of the project ensuring the delivery of a safe, secure and effective service.
