**The difference you will make as a Support Worker**

This role is for St. Saviour's Dispersed based at Vaughan House in Guildford.

St. Saviour's Dispersed is our supported housing project for single homeless people aged 18-65 in Surrey. It’s comprised of 18 shared properties housing for 68 people. Customers have complex support needs around substance misuse, mental health, and offending behaviour. We have properties in Guildford, Woking, Knaphill, Epsom, Waverley, Dorking and Addlestone.

We work with customers to help them to gain independence, achieve success in employment, education or training, and rebuild family and social connections as well as providing a complete supported housing service.

You will provide support in a variety of ways. For example, connecting them with employability coaches and other support agencies, helping them manage their money, signing up for benefits or to move on to a more permanent home.

Through all of this you will need to keep records of everything, so there is some admin to do. At times this role is tough, but most of the time it can be incredibly rewarding.
