Housing First Co-Ordinator

Our Housing First service delivers intensive support to people who are street homeless with the goal to move them into a tenancy and empower them to live independently. This role will involve you predominantly working in the Monmouthshire area. You will be responsible for carrying out housing and support assessments whilst working closely with individuals to ensure resettlement and that the right support is provided. How can I make a difference? Housing First is a frontline service that entails hardcore groundwork with people sleeping rough in the Monmouthshire area. You will be working closely with these individuals to get them off the streets, into a tenancy and empowering them to live independently and maintain that tenancy. You will also work with an experienced, resilient, and trusting team who support each other and are passionate about their work. This is a challenging role and you will need to have an understanding of the needs of rough sleepers and the organisations and agencies you can work with to be able to support them. The people you will be supporting will have varying support needs so being able to communicate effectively is key to being successful in this role.
