Derby, United Kingdom Riverside Full time

**Overview**:
**Job Title**:Housing Support Worker
**Contract Type**:Permanent
**Salary**: £24,699.43 per annum (£25,813.09 per annum is achieved after 18 months successful performance in the role)
**Working Hours**: 37.5 hours per week
**Working Pattern**: Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm
**Location**:Newstead House, Derby

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

This role is based at Newstead House in Derby which offers supported accommodation to customers aged 18+. Customers have a history of domestic violence so you will need to be able to deal with challenging behaviours of vulnerable adults with complex needs.

You will support to our customers 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.

It will be your job to help boost their confidence and support them on their journey as they rebuild their lives. 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. You will need to be resilient, empathetic, and able to leave your work at work and not take it home with you.

This role does not provide personal care.

**About you**

We are looking for someone with:

- Experience of working with vulnerable people
- Experience of delivering structured support and risk management
- To be a team player with a caring and empathetic nature with a resilient, can-do attitude, able to work as part of a team
- An understanding of supporting vulnerable people - this could include having your own lived experience of homelessness or drug or alcohol addiction.
- Ability to work flexible hours to meet customer and business needs, which may not include normal office hours and may include lone working
