About the role:
The Gray's Inn Road supported accommodation project is a 16-bed short stay accommodation service which holds a critical position in the endeavour to address rough sleeping in the London Borough of Camden. The service, funded by the Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities and the Greater London Authority, in partnership with One Housing Group and Camden council aligns with the strategic vision to make rough sleeping rare, brief, and non-recurrent in Camden. Although there is not a defined maximum stay, the service is designed to be a ‘short stay’ project and will aim to move people on into suitable housing options after 3-6 months.
As a resettlement worker you will provide flexible housing related support to vulnerable clients across the service. Clients within the service will often be experiencing multiple disadvantages, including substance misuse, mental and physical health issues and contact with the criminal justice system.
The resettlement worker will need to be resilient, innovative, flexible and creative, working alongside support workers to support clients in becoming move on ready. You will also need to be able to facilitate appropriate moveons from the service by identifying tailored move on support for each client dependent on their support needs, which will require knowledge of housing pathways.
The resettlement worker will be expected to develop strong relationships with housing providers, including private rented sector landlords.
