**Application Process**:
**The difference you will make as a 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

**Role Profile**

**Supporting Customers**:
We use Psychologically Informed approaches and Trauma Informed Care principles to support our customers to develop new ways of thinking and to make steps towards independence, by:

- Leading on Co-producing bespoke support and move-on plans, involving key stakeholders (e.g. family/other support providers), where appropriate
Organising and carrying out regular planned reviews of support and risk plans, or following an incident/significant change in a customer’s circumstances
- Engaging customers to meet agreed outcomes and develop life skills
- Assisting customers with day-to-day support and tenancy-related matters
- Identifying and promoting opportunities for employment, education and training and supporting customers to remove barriers to accessing these opportunities
- Signposting customers to appropriate external support services, including interventions such as food banks and other community resources
- Supporting customers to be ‘tenancy ready’ to enable successful move on
- Supporting customers to be financially independent through budgeting plans and maximising income
- Supporting and monitoring customers’ healthcare needs, ensuring appropriate contact with healthcare professionals
- Empowering customers to move towards self-management of their medication by following the medication procedure
- Leading on support initiatives including Group Work
- Ensure the safety of our customers by following local safeguarding procedures, recognizing and acting on any significant risk, and escalating appropriately
- Record and update clear, factual, accurate, strengths based customer information on the local or appropriate digital platform
