Forward Trust's Private Rented Sector Service supports people with complex needs, including homelessness, offending histories, substance use and poor mental health, to access and sustain safe, secure and stable homes in the private rented sector.
As a Housing Broker, you will play a key role in helping people move towards greater independence by sourcing suitable private rented accommodation and supporting clients throughout their housing journey. You will build and maintain strong relationships with landlords, letting agents, local authorities and partner agencies, promoting the PRSS wraparound support offer to give landlords confidence in offering tenancies to people who may otherwise face significant barriers to accessing housing.
You will take a person-centred, trauma-informed approach to matching clients with suitable properties, considering their individual needs, risks, affordability and support requirements. You will support clients through the practical aspects of securing a tenancy, including property viewings, documentation, deposits, incentives, moving in and accessing essential furnishings. Your role will continue beyond placement. Working alongside the wider team, you will provide tailored tenancy sustainment support.
