Full-Time/Part-Time

How would you like to make a positive difference to someone’s life? We are keen to develop and support people in Gateshead to achieve their outcomes, dreams and aspirations.

Creative Support are looking to recruit a support worker who is experienced in working with people who have mental health support needs.

You will be working with an outcome-focused floating support team for people over the age of 18 who are experiencing homelessness, or who are at risk of homelessness and have housing-related support needs. The service is commissioned by Gateshead Council and will provide a time-limited support service from an office in Gateshead. The service will work with individuals with complex and often chaotic lives to provide a range of support options, including:

• Support in people’s own homes
• Drop-in sessions and activities/courses at our office
• Signposting services to ensure people have the support they need to find and maintain tenancies in the local community.

You will manage a case-load and provide direct support to service users in accordance with their holistic support plans. As a recovery worker, you will support service users who have complex and multiple needs, taking a multi-agency approach that ensures people have access to appropriate services that meet those needs. You will work with service users who require longer-term support with the aim of stabilising their lives through supporting them in developing the necessary skills and confidence for finding and managing a tenancy. You will promote inclusion, independence, and wellbeing with the aim of enabling service users to become active and productive citizens.

You will support service users by providing one-off interventions and longer-term support, devising clear exit strategies that take into account opportunities to build resilience, local connections, and knowledge of local service provision. Support will focus on the following areas:

• Prevention of tenancy failure or homelessness
• Financial management and resilience
• Meaningful activity including volunteering, training, and employment
• Improved health and wellbeing including smoking cessation, reduction in alcohol consumption and substance misuse, increased physical activity, improved diet, and greater engagement with primary and specialist health care services
• Improved engagement with probation and rehabilitation services, and criminal justice agencies
• Improved self-reported quality of life and self-reliance
• Improved connections to local community activities and leisure opportunities.

This role offers unique and challenging opportunities bringing great job satisfaction to those who are looking to make a positive difference to the lives of others. We provide relevant training including accredited health and social care diplomas through our own training academy. You will be required to work in a flexible manner on a rota which may include evenings, weekends, and nights. In addition to opportunities for personal and career development, we offer good conditions of service and a supportive, hands-on management culture.
