We are looking for an experienced Complex Needs Housing Case Worker to join a 47-bed homelessness hostel supporting individuals with complex needs to rebuild their lives and move into independent accommodation. This is not a care role. You'll provide person-centred casework, helping residents overcome barriers, develop independent living skills, and access the support they need to achieve positive outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing a caseload and delivering tailored support plans
- Supporting residents with substance misuse, mental health needs, and complex behaviours
- Working closely with external agencies, including mental health, substance misuse, and social care services
- Completing risk assessments, safeguarding, and case records
- Supporting residents with housing, benefits, budgeting, and move-on plans
We're looking for someone with:
- Experience working in homelessness, supported housing, or a similar environment
- Knowledge of complex needs, mental health, and substance misuse
- Experience creating and managing support plans
- Strong safeguarding, risk management, and multi-agency working skills
- The confidence to work independently in a fast-paced environment
If you're passionate about supporting vulnerable adults and have the experience to make an immediate impact, we'd love to hear from you.
