Outreach Support Worker

Your day might begin by providing support to our customers in independent accommodation, helping them to maintain their tenancies and thrive in their homes.

You’ll work alongside colleagues and Senior Managers to ensure the effective operation of our Support Service, promoting a cooperative and supportive environment. Listening to our customers’ views and helping to develop new services to meet their needs will be at the heart of your role.

You’re passionate about making a difference and have a deep understanding of housing support needs and benefits. Whether it’s providing pre-tenancy guidance, offering advice on welfare benefits, or assisting customers in navigating complex situations, you’re ready to provide the support they need. If you’re empathetic, proactive, and committed to delivering high-quality service, we’d love to hear from you!
