* Work with residents to maximise benefit entitlements and secure project income through efficient rent collection and the minimisation of arrears and void loss

* Support the development of independent budgeting skills where appropriate through the use of information and advice giving as well as looking at practical skills

* Ensure that all voids are prepared to an acceptable standard and re-let in a timely fashion in order to maximise income receivable from rents and charges

To apply for this role, you must have;

* Experience of working with people who have experienced or been threatened with homelessness including those who live in temporary or insecure accommodation.

* Experience of key working, including working with people who have complex or troubling experiences and/or behaviours.

* The ability to produce high quality, personalised support and safety plans that are reflective of the clients you are working with

* An awareness of the legislation that governs mental health services and the application of such legislation

* A strong grasp of the health and social care sector with the ability to navigate across various specialties whilst working with multi-agency professionals, to create support and safety plans for clients

* The ability to spend time getting to know people and understand them, particularly when it seems that they are disinterested

* An understanding of the multiple issues that can lead to homelessness and how such experiences can impact on people’s willingness to then engage with services

* Strong I.T skills including the use of Microsoft Office programmes and database recording system

Candidates should confirm their interest as soon as possible, with interviews scheduled shortly after and the appointed candidate expected to start as soon as possible.
