Are you passionate about supporting people to live independently? Are you able to build trusted relationships and be flexible and creative in your approach to supporting others?
If so, this role working to provide homes for those most in need is for you.
About the role
Cyrenians WiSH project is an exciting partnership with Resonance, a social investment organisation, which purchased homes for charity partners to provide to vulnerable women. Domestic Abuse is the biggest cause of women’s homelessness in Scotland, and the fund purchased 30 homes for Cyrenians to provide to women and children who have had to leave an abusive household.
Working in a small team, you will provide relationship-based support to women who have become homeless due to fleeing domestic abuse. You will assist them to settle into one of our safe, supported properties and work alongside them to manage risk and promote wellbeing while they transition into a new permanent home.
About You
You will be an experienced support worker, and passionate about helping vulnerable people into a better situation. You will also be:
- Experienced in working within homelessness, social work, health or related fields
- Trauma-informed and committed to supporting those who face disadvantage and stigma
- Organised and able to work flexibly with a varied workload
Under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010 only women are eligible to apply.
How we’ll support you
You’ll be working independently with a supportive manager and a range of internal and external colleagues and partnerships. You will have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.
About us
At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness by taking a values-led and relationships-based approach to delivering our services. You can find out more about our organisation and our impact online.
