At the heart of their work is the provision of accommodation and holistic support services to young people aged 16 to 35 who are facing homelessness.

The housing project operates 24/7, offering temporary accommodation for single young people facing a range of challenges, including issues related to mental health, substance misuse, domestic violence, and previous offending. Working in close collaboration with external agencies to provide a comprehensive support system that addresses not only housing needs but also the broader, holistic needs of our residents.

  • Provide benefit advice and guidance to residents, helping them maintain their accommodation and prevent rent arrears.
  • Work closely with external agencies to address the wider needs of the residents, including Floating Support, Housing Services, and more.
  • Ensure incidents and complaints are reported and managed in accordance with organizational policies.
  • Actively source and manage move-on opportunities for residents, coordinating with housing providers as necessary.

Support Needs:

  • Provide a welcoming environment for new residents, supporting them with life skills, social behaviour management, and access to other services.
  • Manage financial aspects, including budgeting and benefit claims, and collaborate with the Income team to address any rent arrears.
  • Address any anti-social behaviour issues and take appropriate action in accordance with policies.

Health and Safety:

  • Support residents in understanding and adhering to health and safety policies, including security and safeguarding procedures.
  • Ensure all incidents related to safety and security are appropriately managed and reported.

General:

  • Serve as a shift lead when required, managing daily tasks and resident movements, and handling emergencies such as fire alarms.
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with external agencies to benefit the support needs of the residents.

Income Maximisation:

  • Work proactively with residents to minimize rent arrears and manage rental income, ensuring that all targets are met in line with organizational policies.

Regulatory Standards and Compliance:

  • Ensure all residents can influence service delivery and comply with regulatory standards.

Data Protection:

  • Maintain the confidentiality and integrity of residents' personal data, ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations.

Other:

  • Provide cover at other locations as needed for holiday or sickness within the housing department.
  • Stay up to date with current housing legislation and welfare benefits.
  • Attend training and development activities, including occasional overnight stays.

Competency:

The ideal candidate will demonstrate reliability, strong organizational skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Commitment to working flexibly when needed and a passion for supporting vulnerable young people is essential.
