The Vacancy
Can you support young people to express themselves and make informed choices and decisions about their lives in a way that respects their dignity and rights?
This busy and dynamic service needs a motivated Resettlement Worker to encourage our young people to be the best version of themselves. Being a young person is tough, help us to lead future generations. Here at Branching Out we offer a strengths based support service which aims to build the skills, confidence and independence of the young people who come through our doors.
As Resettlement Worker you will use your awareness of housing options and available funding to enable young people to maintain their tenures and resettle back to family or appropriate accommodation in the community. You will oversee moves between our services and support colleagues with move on plans.
You will be a people manager who will assist with the recruitment, selection and induction of colleagues, you will motivate the team and support in monitoring performance.
What you’ll be doing
Even as an adult the housing market can be tough to navigate and with so much information out there you will be a young person’s advocate and guidance. You could be helping young people complete the appropriate referrals forms for housing, coordinating referrals or arranging and attending referral interviews. Alternatively you could mediate between young people and their families to facilitate moves back home. You will be highly motivated and resilient but also patient and kind. Change can be scary but you will have a positive attitude to encourage our young people.
Then comes the big move…
With your knowledge of welfare benefits you’ll help users to access grants/ charitable funding for white goods or other furnishings.
As well as this, you will be on the ball with activities related to the young person’s move e.g. arranging and facilitating pre move in meetings, joining the property inspection, liaising with the landlord where appropriate to negotiate move-in dates. You will also develop a system that matches young people across the contracted provision to facilitate house shares.
Continued support is the key!
As the guardian angel that secured their first home, you will continue to maintain contact with young people who have moved on at regular intervals to measure sustainability of move on. This could mean providing advice, signposting or referring to floating support if move on option is at risk.
