Summary:
We are looking for a vibrant, enthusiastic, and self-motivating person who is committed to achieving positive outcomes to join our Floating Support service on a full-time, permanent basis.
What Is Great About This Role?
As a Floating Support Worker, you will be supporting people in their own homes across the south Powys area. Floating Support Workers also provide support in our two accommodation schemes, both based in Brecon, one of which is a young person’s service.
You will manage your own case load supported by the Manager and Lead Project Worker, agile working across the south Powys area. The role is varied, challenging and rewarding, working as part of a committed team to deliver a high standard of support.
Your Day Will Consist Of:
Our aim is to ensure we equip these individuals with the confidence, knowledge, and tools they need to manage their home independently, so it is essential that we teach them how and not do it for them. This is a challenging role and you will be faced with varying needs which can lead to frustrations when there is a lack of understanding of the housing issues, the people we support, face. You will work with a range of different personalities and behaviours so you will need to be able to adapt your approach to engage with a diverse cliental as well as have an awareness of the issues faced by people at risk of homelessness.
Who We Are Looking For:
To be a great Support Worker, you don’t always need previous experience or qualifications. A good understanding of housing related support and welfare benefits or awareness of issues faced by people at risk of homelessness would be extremely useful in the role.
The shift pattern for this role will be predominately Monday – Friday, (days and evenings). Flexibility is required to meet the needs of the service, weekend working is required with at least 1 in 8 weekends, although more may be required to meet the needs of the service.
It is essential for the successful candidate to have a full drivers licence, access to a vehicle and be willing to transport service users in your car.
