Housing First Worker
Brighton
£33,797 - £37,563 pa
Are you committed to making a lasting difference to the lives of vulnerable adults?
Fixed term opportunity until 31 March 2027
Housing First is an innovating approach to supporting the most excluded and hard to reach clients. It focuses on finding housing first; and then addressing the issues that have contributed to an individual’s homelessness.
The Brighton Housing First service aims to support hard to reach clients with complex needs: by sourcing independent tenancies and providing intensive support into long term accommodation. By adopting a flexible, creative and personalised approach, the service aims to support individuals to manage their tenancies in the community and rebuild their lives. The team is currently supporting clients in the Brighton and Hove area.
In the role of Housing First Worker you will:
- Work Monday to Friday, 9-5, working with a person-centred approach to support clients in their own homes as well as in the community.
- Be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of the service, managing a small caseload of clients.
- Deliver ongoing and intensive support to help your clients set up their home, with the overall goal of supporting them to sustain their tenancy and achieve individual goals and aspirations.
- Build and maintain effective relationships through an MDT approach with local partner agencies to support clients throughout their recovery.
