We have an exciting opportunity for a Floating Support Project Worker within our Tameside project.

The primary purpose of this post is to provide housing related support to vulnerable and socially excluded people in Tameside. The post holder is responsible for ensuring that a person centred support package is tailor made to each individual accessing the service. The support should assist service users in developing the skills required to maintain their tenancies, enabling them to re-establish themselves in the community and move on to independent living.

Some of the key knowledge, skills and experience you will need to meet the challenges of this role are:

  • A knowledge and understanding of the needs of vulnerable or socially excluded people
  • An up to date knowledge and understanding role of the relevant support agencies that service users may need and how to access them
  • An up to date knowledge of welfare benefits and related entitlements, including recent changes following the welfare reform
  • Skilled in Support Planning with the ability to undertake environmental and client risk assessments to address complex needs, in order to deliver a quality service to meet the needs of the individual
  • The ability to motivate service users to engage in support and personal development activities

Are you seeking a new challenge and are the kind of person who can relate to our values and can help others to help themselves, you’ll gain a great deal from working with us. In return we offer a competitive salary and benefits package.
