- Housing Related Support: Offering guidance on budgeting, benefit claims (including Universal Credit and Housing Benefit), rent payments, and basic home management.
- Signposting & Advocacy: Identifying additional needs such as mental health, employment, or substance misuse, and connecting tenants to specialist external agencies.

- Team Collaboration: Providing “roving” support to colleagues and assisting at other schemes when required to ensure continuity of service.
- Holistic Support Planning: Co producing personalised support plans with tenants, setting clear and measurable goals to strengthen housing stability and overall wellbeing.
What we’re looking for
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex housing information clearly to a diverse tenant group, including individuals and families.
- Ability to travel independently to tenants’ homes as part of regular support delivery.
- Experience in housing, social care or community support (desirable but not essential – full training provided for the right candidate).
- High proficiency in Microsoft Office 365 and digital case management systems, with confident report writing skills.
- Excellent people skills and the ability to build rapport while maintaining professional boundaries.
- A collaborative, “can do” attitude with a willingness to support other schemes and colleagues during busy periods.
