Housing Worker

Description

• You’ll have a great profile in your community and you’ll identify and get to know various agencies, groups and businesses in the local area that might help your customers achieve what they want out of life. You’ll proactively make connections between customers and these organisations and you’ll use your coaching skills to help customers make these connections for themselves.
• You’ll be able to build rapport quickly to support your customers, understand their short term individual needs and circumstances to make their time in temporary accommodation positive, and put any necessary long term support in place to help customers move on to settled accommodation

Requirements

• You have a reputation for first rate influencing, negotiating and relationship building skills.
• You see the best in people and have the capacity to coach and support
• You have experience of housing and tenancy issues including. mental health, care leavers, money advice, welfare benefits and reforms or skills coaching
• You’ll have honest and sometimes difficult conversations with your customers that will enable them to make more informed choices and better equip them to deal with life’s challenges. Whether it’s about changing behaviour to help the customer manage their tenancy better or prevent issues of anti-social behaviour, getting into work, being better with money, a healthier lifestyle or improving skills - having coaching conversations is the essential ingredient
• You have a track record of being self-motivated, flexible and able to manage your own workload

Benefits

• You’ll spend most of your time out across the small number of sites of our temporary accommodation, getting to know your customers and the local community. It’s no 9 to 5 job – you’ll need to be flexible and ready to work with your customers, when it’s right for them
