Morgan Hunt is currently working with a number of organisations across Oldham and Rochdale who are looking to recruit Supported Housing Project Workers for their supported housing, temporary accommodation and hostel services. These services support a variety of client groups including adults and young people experiencing homelessness to live independently and move on with their lives.

Residents are supported by teams who work closely to deliver support in areas such as health and wellbeing, budgeting, education, employment training and residential housing. Residents are offered personalised support packages and, through weekly one‑to‑one sessions, workshops and activities, they are supported to live well and move onto independent accommodation.

Responsibilities

• Work as part of a team within supported housing services, providing high quality and intensive support to vulnerable people.
• Use a person‑centred approach to enable customers to develop independent living skills and move on successfully into more permanent accommodation suitable to their needs.
• Build on skills that will support customers to access work, training or education.
• Use techniques such as coaching and strengths‑based approaches to enable customers to develop emotional resilience, overcome barriers and take control of their lives.
• Ensure the health and safety of the building and all residents at all times.
• Liaise with external professionals and agencies as required.

Candidate Requirements

• Experience and knowledge of different methods and techniques, including a strengths‑based approach.
• Experience working within a similar setting supporting people with complex needs.
• Knowledge and understanding of the needs of vulnerable people and the issues that can prevent long‑term tenancy sustainment.
• Knowledge of relevant legislation, policy and developments relating to vulnerable people.
• The ability to motivate positive change and engage clients to develop independent living skills and achieve their outcomes.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Experience of lone working and the confidence to deal with challenging situations while lone working.

As a Supported Housing Project Worker, you will require an Enhanced Adult and Child DBS.
