If you are a self-motivated, compassionate, and resilient individual who want to play a role in transforming the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in society, we want to hear from you.
As a Homeless Accommodation and Support Officer you will be working with clients in the locality to progress in resettlement accommodation. This client group will have a history of recurrent homelessness and need support to build on their skills to manage in their tenancy. You will carry a caseload of up to 15 people with multiple needs (some of which will be entrenched rough sleepers). You will provide a holistic and coordinated support for all customers, from first contact when they sign up for their accommodation, through to them move on into a long-term settled tenancy.
You will be part of the Council's Housing Options team working alongside the Community Safety HUB, commissioned services, and local charities. The role will involve you working in a multi-agency setting, co-ordinating support on behalf of this client group to help them succeed in their accommodation.
The ideal candidates will have the ability to work using a supportive person-centred approach, with individuals who have been rough sleeping and the trauma associated with that. You will also have experience of working with people with multiple needs, knowledge of the current welfare system, private rented sector and understand the barriers to engagement. Additionally, you will be able to work flexibly and creatively according to the needs and patterns of the clients. You need to be available to support the wider rough sleeper team to meet the needs of the client group. This may include working on tenancy readiness skills with small groups or offering one to one coaching for other clients open to the team.
