Full Description:

We are looking for a number of Project Support Workers to support the provision of high quality housing and housing support services. Working with direct supervision as part of a supportive team, this is an excellent opportunity to have direct involvement in the development of a quality service that meets the specific needs of different individual clients. Clients could include vulnerable young parents, people with mental health issues, single homeless people, ex offenders, people with drug and alcohol issues, homeless families, people with learning disabilities, women at risk of domestic violence, young people at risk and leaving care, older people, people with HIV and Aids, refugees and travellers and anyone who has a housing related support need.
