London, United Kingdom The FurtherMore Project Full time

**Company description**

The FurtherMore Project was set up against the backdrop of the housing crisis and to directly address the challenges faced by single homeless individuals and their limited access to social housing and adequate support services.

Our team of highly trained managers and staff draw upon years of experience to fulfil our core objective of providing a bridge from homelessness to independence and the creation of real and meaningful outcomes for those who enter our service.

The FurtherMore Project make every effort to provide a comfortable, safe, nurturing and empowering environment for our clients to live in, to fulfill their own aspirations and to move on appropriately when they are ready.

Our organisation provides supported accommodation to homeless vulnerable adults with identified low to medium level support needs ranging from mental health needs, medical conditions, financial difficulties, general emotional support amongst others.

The main role of a support worker will be:

- Follow up on client admin, including benefits, organisations they have been referred to for support needs, GP’s etc.
- Chasing clients where needed on admin items where needed (licenses, bank statements etc.)
- Weekly update with line manager on client progress
- Liaise with maintenance department on any maintenance issues raised by clients
- Providing any resolutions to initial client on client disputes
- Escalating warnings and incidents to line manager and documenting on system where needed.
- Work with client to assist them into the PRS where possible.
- Create budgeting plans for all clients and - especially after employment - assist with the move on process and to get clients in a position where they will be able to demonstrate an ability to pay rent to PRS landlords.
- Ensure clients fully understand the circumstances surrounding employment, benefits and move on with a clear plan of action drafted for them to follow.
- Ensure all move-on documentation including AST’s, bank statements, pay slips, UC statements etc. obtained for move-on’s.
- Liaise with partnering organisations for DHP payments for move-on’s and external organisations to assist with the process too.

Additional tasks outside of the focused support may include house and room inspections and general welfare checks as well as other roles which complement the core support of the clients.
