Project Description
The project operates across Ceredigion working with individuals who are vulnerably housed or homeless providing housing related support within people’s homes or in the community, with the aim of preventing homelessness and increasing independence.
Purpose of Role
To coordinate and provide support that enables and empowers Service Users to address housing and/or personal difficulties, build their skills and confidence, and ultimately improve their ability to maintain their accommodation. The support will not create or increase dependence. It will ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’, so it’s likely that support will involve accompanying Service Users initially, in order to familiarise them with an activity or appointment. Support will help people improve their control, understanding and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users to achieve their preferred outcomes.
This role is subject to an Enhanced DBS disclosure.
Please note: Driving Licence and access to own vehicle is essential for this role.
We are not utilising agencies with this role and kindly ask that agencies do not approach to assist us with this vacancy.
