About the role

You will work closely with an Independent Living Outreach worker who will deliver one-to-one casework support to tenants at the same accommodation blocks.

About you

You have excellent relationship building skills and experience of working with disadvantaged groups of people to take collective action to achieve positive outcomes for people and communities.
You enjoy organising social activities and events in response to community priorities, interests and needs.
You have an organised and strategic mindset and the professionalism to foster positive working relationships between community, voluntary and public sector organisations and representatives.
You cope well with conflict and have a calm and grounded approach, with the ability to mediate different perspectives to come to positive collective agreements and ways forward.
