Community Housing Worker

Emerging Futures • Full-time • Manchester, ENG, GB • 1w ago

This role is also known as Floating Support Worker

Hours: 37.5 hours per week
Location: Manchester
Salary: £24,699 – £28,312 per annum

Emerging Futures works nationally with people affected by addiction, encouraging them to make positive changes to their lives.

We believe that no one should suffer the stigma associated with addiction, and that everyone seeking support should feel valued and respected.

We provide homes for people to connect with others and make the necessary changes to move towards independent, healthy living.

Our behaviour change services provide a confidential space to share experiences, and offer practical support to those who want to change.

About the Role

As a Community Housing Worker / Floating Support Worker, you’ll support clients with complex needs, assessing their support requirements and managing referrals. You’ll provide tenancy sustainment support and guide clients through Manchester’s treatment services.

You will join a specialist floating support team working with individuals facing substance misuse issues and at risk of eviction or homelessness, or struggling to engage with services.

Your work will take you across the city, collaborating with CGL’s treatment provider, and other partner agencies, such as night shelters and hostels. You’ll create a solution-focused, integrated support pathway, ensuring effective collaboration to avoid duplication.

You’ll also identify local resources to enhance support, aiming to improve access to sustainable housing; reduce unplanned exits from drug and alcohol treatment and provide effective housing support and address unmet housing needs.

About you

You may have a coaching, counselling or health & social care qualification. You should also have:

Experience delivering evidence-based interventions for individuals impacted by substance misuse and/or offending.
Proven success in supporting tenancy sustainment and fostering positive community connections.
Keyworker experience managing cases with complex needs, including the ability to work independently.
Experience collaborating with multiple partnership agencies

What do our staff say about working for us?

“My professional development is being addressed all the time. I have had so much training while I have been here.”

“We try to create an environment where it’s ok not to be ok. I feel very blessed to be part of this organisation.”
