Vacancy Detail

Case Worker

 

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team of caseworkers meeting the needs of homeless and vulnerably housed clients.  As a caseworker you will provide holistic support to a caseload of clients, as well as providing a daily support clinic in the Drop In.  

Some clients will be new to homelessness but many will have complex and multiple needs including; repeat homelessness, significant histories of trauma, mental health, addiction and family breakdown and some will also have struggled to engage with other support services which exacerbates and prolongs their homelessness experience and results in them ‘revolving’ around the system. 

If you are motivated, resourceful and passionate about empowering and supporting homeless people then join our team.  You must be able to provide holistic support, be aware of the benefits of trauma-informed and strength-based environments and work to the Welcome ethos of low threshold and high tolerance services.  In return, we will provide the opportunity to develop your skills, professional supervision and support, along with being part of a team where your views count and where you can make a lasting difference to the lives of homeless women.

This is a new role that requires a degree of flexibility.  We envisage that most hours will typically be between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday but you will be expected to work evenings/weekends depending on client need.

Criteria:

• 6 months experience of working with homeless people or rough sleepers with complex needs OR
• 6 months experience working within the fields of addiction or mental health or criminal justice system or a similar environment OR
• Relevant experience that would be transferable to the post
