Pods, Nova, and our Work & Life Skills Centre

£15.00 per hour (including an uplift for annual leave entitlement)

Flexible Working Rotated Shift Patterns including Evenings, Weekends and Bank holidays

Launchpad are looking for a Locum Support Worker, with a variety of hours and shifts available. If you're passionate about supporting vulnerable people to live independently within the community and helping homeless individuals regain stability, then this role is for you.

ABOUT LAUNCHPAD

Launchpad provides vital information and support for vulnerable individuals, couples and families in Reading who do not have a stable place to live or are at risk of losing their home. It was founded as a soup kitchen in 1979 by students at the University of Reading, the charity now provides a holistic service that works in three ways we prevent homelessness, provide homes, and rebuild lives.

THIS ROLE

As a Locum Support Worker you will support clients with complex needs, assisting them to gain independent living skills that enable them to move forward with their lives. You will provide services at our PODs and Nova projects.

The Pods is a site that holds 40 self-contained modular homes for those who have experienced rough sleeping in Reading. Managed by Reading Borough Council, they have commissioned Launchpad to provide holistic support to those living on the site. This consists of one-to-one support, as well as an on-site office that is staffed 24/7. We work closely together with our shared vision of reducing rough sleeping and rebuilding lives. At the Pods you will play a vital role in helping homeless individuals regain stability and improve their quality of life.

The Nova project is a specialist service for women, established in 2021 by Reading Borough Council. It provides a home for 10 multiply disadvantaged women in a gender and trauma-informed supported environment. The home is a safe space for female residents to help them begin to recover from the experience of homelessness and to help them rebuild their lives until they are ready to move on. The service operates on a 24/7 basis and at times, lone working will be required. You will need an innovative and dynamic approach and a passion for positive outcomes.

You will be taking a person-centered, strengths-based approach supporting in a trauma informed way whilst working collaboratively with partner agencies to provide wrap around holistic support.

Our 135 Work & Life Skills Centre is a welcoming space offering a wide range of practical and creative sessions, including cooking, IT, job searching, arts and crafts, and wellbeing activities. The centre helps attendees build confidence, learn new skills, and prepare for independent living. You will support individuals to take part in these sessions and work closely with staff, volunteers, and external partners to create a positive and inclusive environment.

We are looking for a candidate who is:

  • Professional, approachable, assertive, confident and empathetic whilst maintaining appropriate boundaries
  • Awareness of Safeguarding
  • Resilient and experienced in dealing with challenging behaviours and able to maintain motivation levels
  • Able to advocate for people facing multiple disadvantage
  • Experienced in working with vulnerable people
  • Experience in support and housing, knowledge of the benefit system (desirable)
  • Knowledgeable about basic IT software (Word, Excel and Outlook)
