Outreach Support Officer
We are looking for a caring, compassionate and motivated person to join our team and walk alongside young people as they take positive steps towards independence. This post is for an Outreach Support Officer, working with residents who have moved into our shared house or into their own tenancies. The purpose of the role is to support young people aged 16 to 21 as they move into independent accommodation, and to continue supporting them after move-on so they can sustain their tenancy and build a positive future. You will provide person-centred support in their own homes, using creative and engaging approaches to help young people recognise their strengths, achieve their goals and aspirations, and develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive.
By building positive relationships and taking a 'work with' approach, you'll help residents achieve their goals and take those next steps towards independence. The role can be challenging. At Taff, we work in a psychologically informed way and aim to build resilience in trauma-affected people, which can bring up challenging emotions for those we support and for our staff. Every member of our support team has a unique personality, which helps to create a supportive, inclusive and welcoming team like no other. You will also receive regular training and learning opportunities as we support you to progress in your career.
