It is essential for the successful candidate to have access to a car, have a full driver’s licence, and be happy to transport customers in their car.

What is great about the role?

Here you will find a welcoming team who are all enthusiastic and motivated to empower the people we support to live independently. This is a really rewarding role where you will see the people we support develop and grow and build on their confidence to be able to manage their own tenancies.

Our focus is not just on providing housing related support, you have the autonomy to come up with innovative ideas, support people to have new experiences and learn new skills.

We strive to ensure that everyone we support receives the very best support to enable and empower them to regain control of their life and to sustain their independence. Joining our Floating Support team will give you the opportunity to learn and grow within the support sector. You will work with talented and experienced people whose passion is to support our customers. No 2 days are the same and it is especially rewarding when you see an individual’s development and they move on into their own tenancy.

Your day will consist of:

• Encourage and motivate customers to engage with their community and develop life and social skills
• Provide housing-related support to help customers take on and maintain a tenancy to prevent homelessness
• Offer advice, information and support to customers
• Complete all necessary administrative tasks related to the job, including developing risk assessments, support plans and risk management plans
