Can you support our Extra Care community to remain independent with a little tailored help?
Every day, residents in our Extra Care schemes face challenges that impact their independence and wellbeing. As our Housing Support Officer for Extra Care, you'll provide the vital support that helps them sustain their tenancies, maximise their income, and live connected, safe lives as part of a vibrant community.
Imagine being the key person who creates the perfect balance between independence and support-transforming housing units into true homes for people who need more than traditional sheltered housing offers.
What you'll be doing
Beyond a salary of £12,063 and the chance to make a real difference every day, you'll get:
You're a people person with genuine compassion for older adults and a commitment to helping them live independently. You have experience working one-to-one with customers to develop support plans and understand the unique balance between providing support while promoting independence.
You're highly organised, with excellent record-keeping skills and the ability to maintain accurate information systems. You're comfortable with technology, including Microsoft Office, iPads, and mobile working tools.
You have experience working in a customer-focused environment, whether in supported housing, social care, or a community setting. You excel at networking and building relationships with various agencies, including the on-site care staff, to ensure coordinated support for residents.
You're skilled at arranging engaging community activities and events that help residents connect with each other and maintain active social lives. You communicate effectively at all levels, both verbally and in writing, and remain positive, flexible, and consistent.
A full driving licence and access to a suitable vehicle is essential for this role, as you may need to travel between locations and occasionally transport residents to appointments.
Most importantly, you're passionate about creating a vibrant, supportive community within our Extra Care scheme, helping residents maintain their independence with dignity while ensuring they receive the support they need.
