Apricus Resourcing are currently supporting a Domestic Abuse Support Charity working onsite based in the LE1 postcode area of Leicester recruiting for a number of new exciting positions.
This service will provide support to clients that have a history of homelessness or rough sleeping with low to medium support needs. As a refuge support worker, you will be focused on facilitating permanent move-on accommodation and preparing for fully independent living. The aim of the support is to ensure that those you work alongside are supported and empowered to make positive choices about their life and to continue to live their life free from homelessness.
As a support worker, you will be expected to have specific skills and experience of working in a housing-related setting or around tenancy management. It would be an advantage if you had knowledge of housing-related law and local support services. You will recognise that the people that we support have often experienced trauma and will work in a way which understands this.
You will manage a caseload and use a critical time intervention model which means you will understand the need for transition, trying out and transfer of support throughout the journey of your tenant within the service. At least 1 year’s experience of working with vulnerable adults and a working knowledge of either resettlement, support planning, welfare rights, benefits advice, mental health issues, offending, drug and alcohol misuse, harm reduction, working with partner agencies and safeguarding is required.
In return for your commitment, the hirer is able to offer a very competitive starting salary of £26,421 per annum (pro rata). An enhanced rate will be offered if hired on a temporary basis. Due to the need to meet clients at locations for these roles, a driving licence and your own transport is required; fuel costs for travelling away from the main base will be reimbursed.
Benefits you can expect from Apricus include:
- Free of charge fast-tracked DBS disclosure certificate
- Dedicated Consultant permanently assigned to you with all the sector expertise required
- Excellent efficient weekly Payroll and professional Compliance Department System, ensuring that you are accurately paid on time, every time
- The most competitive rates the sector can offer, allowing you to achieve earnings unlike anywhere else
- Leading £300 Referral Bonus for every successful referral to Apricus
