Do you want to be part of a dynamic and growing organisation that works to provide supported housing to people experiencing domestic abuse issues?

Our East Sussex Domestic Abuse Service is currently looking for a Support Officer to join our dynamic team.

Clarion is offering an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic, motivated and talented individuals to build a career working for one of Europe’s largest housing associations. Alongside providing general needs housing, Clarion also delivers support services to some of the most vulnerable people in society. Our work supporting individuals and families who have experienced domestic abuse offers our customers the opportunity to move on and live fulfilled, safe lives following the trauma they’ve experienced. The role of Support Officer whilst challenging at times, is an extremely rewarding one.

Who are we looking for?

To be successful in this role you need to have a good understanding of domestic abuse issues including the impact of domestic abuse on victims and their children, ideally having previous experience in a similar role. We’re looking for people who have the qualities and skills we feel would most benefit our clients; professionalism, empathy, kindness and understanding, and a desire to develop their own knowledge and skills to best support our clients.

As a Support Officer, you’ll work alongside internal and external colleagues including statutory and voluntary support services in East Sussex to help our customers and their families stay safe and recover from abuse.

You will help to ensure residents safety with health and safety at the foremost of your work practice, including fire safety checks and a practical approach to the upkeep of housing maintenance in the refuges.

You’ll use a person-centred, trauma informed approach to assess the customers’ needs and create an individual support plan with them.

The Support Officer role is varied and includes: providing assistance to customers to access welfare benefits and manage debt issues; advice to manage their tenancy/ license with Clarion, enabling access to legal help and to attend court hearings or child protection meetings, providing access to counselling, therapeutic support and education services for them and their children, enabling access to substance misuse and mental health services and support to move on to appropriate, safe, longer-term accommodation.

In addition, as part of the refuge team you’ll provide resettlement services to customers who have moved into independent accommodation and you’ll have a key role in ensuring the refuge is a safe and welcoming place to live and work.

Working for Clarion as part of the East Sussex team, you’ll be delivering exceptional support services to our customers.

What you’ll get in return

Here at Clarion we’re dedicated to rewarding hard work and commitment and providing benefits that support you and your lifestyle. As standard we offer;
- Competitive salaries that are benchmarked regularly against current market rates
- Initial 25 Days annual leave (plus bank holiday), increasing to 30 days after 3 years’ service.
- A flexible benefit scheme tailored to you, inclusive of healthcare options, dental insurance, restaurant card and cycle to work along with 1% of your salary to spend on whichever approved benefit you like
- Matched pension contributions of up to 7.5% of your salary with generous life assurance
- Flexible and agile working for the majority of our employees

Other perks
- Company Bonus Scheme
- Eye care vouchers
- Holiday trading scheme allowing you to buy and sell leave
- Free counselling and legal advice scheme for you and your family
