Project Description

Rapid Rehousing is based around the ethos that housing is a human right and differs from traditional supported housing and homelessness provision that places a number of conditions on people to prove that they are ready for independent housing.

Following similar principles set out by the Housing First model, Rapid Rehousing is a housing led approach with CTI critical time interventions to successfully support people with repeat histories of homelessness, who experience multiple disadvantages, into independent and stable accommodation, through the provision of intensive wrap-around and trauma informed support.

The principles of Housing First are:

- People have a right to a home

- Flexible support is provided for as long as is needed

- Housing and support are separated

- Individuals have choice and control (restricted housing choices with RRH)

- An active and assertive engagement approach is used

- People are supported to identify their strengths, goals and aspirations

- A harm reduction approach is used

Purpose of Role

The Rapid Rehousing Worker will be responsible for coordinating and providing a flexible person centred, solution focused service, applying an assertive engagement and positive risk-taking approach, using Housing First principles but with a view to rapidly addressing a person’s housing need. Within legal, moral and ethical boundaries, Rapid rehousing provision relies on staff being committed to the ethos, applying a ‘can do, will do’ approach, that focuses on the long-term goal of creating sustainable tenancies and maximising connectivity with the local community. The Worker will be working in a capacity to enable clients to access the services and interventions they need to build their resilience, gain confidence, reduce harm and acquire the personal and social skills they need to meet their aspirations and sustain their tenancy.

The successful applicant will be expected to:

- Manage a caseload and establish open and trusting relationships

- Deliver support and drop in sessions in temporary accommodation settings including bed and breakfasts

- Deliver trauma informed support

- Advise on, liaise with and facilitate access to other agencies including; Housing Options, Registered Social Landlords, Private Rented Sector, Adult Social Services, Criminal Justice Services and Drug and Alcohol Services.
