Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver effective, person-centred Support and Safety Plans.
• Provide weekly support sessions (up to 2 hours per week).
• Maintain up-to-date resident records.
• Support Housing Benefit applications.
• Refer residents to specialist support agencies.
• Liaise with partner agencies such as Probation, Prison Services, Courts, and Police.
• Ensure properties are well-maintained, furnished, and clean.
• Empower residents to achieve outcomes and develop move-on plans.
