The Floating Support service provides support to 100 clients with complex support needs who have been allocated their own accommodation. The Floating Support staff carry a caseload of approximately 25 individuals and will make regular visits to clients’ homes to ensure they have everything they need in place to retain their tenancies and are receiving good support.

We are looking for individuals who are passionate, committed, and enthusiastic to join our support team to help make a positive difference to the lives of people affected by homelessness.

You will have experience of working with marginalised, disadvantaged, and disenfranchised people with multiple and complex needs in a psychologically informed environment. Being able to build effective relationships with our service users, you will understand the challenges faced by and the needs of people experiencing homelessness, or are vulnerably housed, and have skills and knowledge in providing housing-related support.

This is a lone working service. All service users availing of floating support have been ‘traffic lighted’ according to both need and risk and staff will double up to complete visits where risk is identified. Staff must have access to own transport and business insurance to undertake home visits and to transport clients.

Although hours will be mostly worked between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, there will be evenings and weekend shifts, and staff will be required to work outside normal office hours as necessary to undertake the duties of the post
