Full Job Description
Emerging Futures works nationally with people affected by addiction, encouraging them to make positive changes to their lives. We believe that no one should suffer the stigma associated with addiction, and that everyone seeking support should feel valued and respected. We provide homes for people to connect with others and make the necessary changes to move towards independent, healthy living. Our behaviour change services provide a confidential space to share experiences, and offer practical support to those who want to change. The Emerging Futures accredited coach training develops the skills of our volunteers, motivating people to give back and reconnect with their community. About the role As a Housing Support Worker, you will support people with a history of drug and/or alcohol issues, who are completing, or have recently completed a detox and are living in our supported housing projects. You will assist with the daily running of the project and coordinate all aspects of the residents' care, including referrals, move-in plans, assessments and case notes. You will deliver psychological interventions to support residents to improve their wellbeing and participate in meaningful activities in the community as an alternative to substance and alcohol use. You will help residents access mutual aid support in the community and get involved in activities that will support their recovery.
This is an entry-level role, and we understand that not all candidates will have direct work experience in a similar position. We provide training to all of our Housing Support Workers, enabling them to deliver the role confidently and in a holistic, person-centred way. Whilst a passion for working with people affected by addiction is crucial, candidates may also have:
- Experience of working with people with complex needs including challenging or negative behaviour, substance misuse and/or criminal offending backgrounds.
- An understanding of the harmful effects associated with drug and alcohol misuse and offending in relation to health, social welfare, housing, employability and personal relationships.
- Specialist harm reduction experience (desirable)
- Experience of developing partnerships and working collaboratively with other organisations.
- Experience or an understanding of supporting people to develop their personal strengths and sustain their tenancy within a 'supported housing' environment.
- A coaching/ counselling/ Health and Social Care qualification (desirable)
