About the role

The Housing First Support Worker provides person-centered and housing-related support, information, and advice to residents of SCT’s Housing First for Recovery service. The Housing First Support Worker acts as the key worker for a small group of Housing First residents. The anticipated ratio is one staff member to six residents, although this may vary through the life of the project.

Residents of Housing First will be single people who are rough sleeping, homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness; they may present as challenging and are likely to have multiple and complex needs which make finding, securing, and maintaining accommodation extremely difficult.

Staff will work to engage with residents and potential residents who have a history of disengaging from services, using a variety of techniques and approaches to build and develop a supportive working relationship. Staff will help residents meet their personalised goals, make informed decisions, and achieve a greater level of stability and independence.

All activity will be underpinned by the following Housing First Principles:

1. People have the right to a home
2. Flexible support is provided for as long as it is needed
3. Housing and support are separate
4. People have choice and control over all aspects of their lives
5. The service is based upon people’s strengths, goals, and aspirations
6. An active engagement approach is used
7. A harm reduction approach is used.

Staff may work alongside peer mentors who, as former users of services, may be able to provide additional advice and support to Housing First residents.

Staff are expected to be available to support Housing First for Recovery residents during usual working hours (Monday to Friday, 9.00am-5.00pm) although may be required to work outside of the conventional working week on occasion.  

Role and Responsibilities

• Undertake comprehensive needs and risk assessments with each allocated resident.
• Adopt a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE) and Trauma Informed Care (TIC) approach to supporting Housing First for Recovery residents, including use of learning from PIE and TIC training and Reflective Practice.
• Develop and maintain relationships with Housing First residents to enable person-centered support, promoting personal choice and wellbeing. This will be done through regular contact, including visits to residents’ homes and appropriate community settings.
• Be adaptive and flexible, resilient to challenges and rejections, to support the stability and progression of Housing First residents to achieve personalised outcomes.
• Liaise with accommodation providers and actively encourage Housing First residents to move into appropriate Housing First accommodation of their choice.
• Identify barriers to acquiring and maintaining accommodation and provide support, including practical help with furniture, benefits advice, budgeting, neighbour relations and liaising with landlords.
• Support tenants to register with a GP, dentist, and optician and in addressing any immediate and longer-term physical and mental health concerns.
• Support tenants in the best use of personalised budgets to purchase items identified as needed (e.g., furniture, appliances, clothes, etc.).
• Offer advice, guidance, and support on ways in which substance misuse and other harmful activities can be practiced more safely. This includes anticipating and supporting the reduction of harmful challenges while maximising opportunities.
• Support residents in attending AA/NA and taking first steps to address their substance misuse issues.
• Be empowered and persistent in advocating for residents to access all services, including reconciliation work with agencies, if required.
• Develop, maintain and coordinate effective working relationships with external agencies, promoting effective communication for and about residents ensuring the Housing First project is widely known and promoted.
• With tenants’ agreement, liaise with other agencies to facilitate access to support, including recovery from addiction, offending and criminal justice, health and mental health, domestic abuse, welfare and housing benefits, debit, child and adult protection, employment, training, and volunteering.
• Identify cases requiring further help (specialist advice, alternative support) referring and supporting engagement as appropriate.
• Support residents to accessing the suite of additional SCT services run by our Drop-In team such as art, gardening, IT, pre-abstinence, and women’s groups.
• Support residents to access community resources to develop positive peer networks and meaningful leisure opportunities, including social, recreational, sport, faith, learning and arts.
• Regularly review people’s support plans to update, record and monitor progress.
