Rise Higher. Rise with us

About the role

The Kerrigan Project provides support and accommodation for 9 people including one emergency bed unit. The project is aimed at people who have complex needs including a combination of substance misuse, offending and mental ill-health.

Providing housing and support to improve mental and emotional health, reduce re-offending, access sustainable housing and maintain independence within the community. The people we work with are also encouraged and supported to develop life skills, engage in volunteering, education and training opportunities with the aim of becoming more independent and less reliant on support services.

Working with talented and experienced people whose passion is to support our clients. No 2 days are the same and it is especially rewarding when you see an individual’s development and they move on into their own tenancy.

Your day will consist of:

• As a Project Worker you will lead each shift by managing the scheme and overseeing the Scheme Support Officers.
• Engaging and interacting with our service users
• Writing and following a support plan with the individual you are supporting
• Delivering workshops relating to tenancy management and health and wellbeing
• Liaising with external agencies
• Addressing any additional needs, the people we support might have

Our motivation is to ensure we equip these individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to live independently. This is a challenging role and you will be faced with complex behaviours and needs, including alcohol misuse, mental health, substance misuse and offending behaviour. You will work with a range of different personalities and behaviours so you will need to be able to adapt your approach to engage with a diverse cliental.

Skills and Experience Needed

Relevant work experience and knowledge of issues relating to vulnerable people is essential.

For the role it is desirable to hold a UK Driving Licence & access to a vehicle.

• A passion to work with and enable people to live as independent a life as possible
