Every interaction is an opportunity to empower clients to sustain their accommodation, improve wellbeing, strengthen community connections and move towards independence.
About you:
- Experience supporting women with complex needs, including those who have experienced VAWG, homelessness, mental health issues, or substance use.
- A person-centred approach, using harm minimisation and recovery principles.
- Creativity, flexibility, and resilience in engaging clients who may be hard to reach.
- Strong teamwork skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
