Full Job Description
You will work out in the community, visiting individuals in their own homes, so a full driving licence, access to a vehicle, and business insurance are essential.
The people you will support may be facing significant difficulties and could be at risk of homelessness. Because of this, it is important that you have experience of working with individuals who have vulnerabilities and/or display challenging behaviour. There will be times when people present in crisis, so we are looking for someone who can communicate clearly, negotiate effectively, remain calm under pressure, and approach situations with a positive, solution-focused mindset. Building strong, trusting relationships is key to success in this role. You will be able to work independently and manage your time effectively but most of all you will be a team player. A good knowledge of housing management issues, safeguarding and welfare benefits and entitlement is essential.
This is a 37.5-hour post, Monday - Friday, 9.00am-5.00pm, however, there is an element of flexibility around working hours required by the postholder.
