Project Description
Neath Port Talbot Prevention and Wellbeing Support provides generic floating support to the residents of Neath Port Talbot. Addressing housing, financial and personal difficulties, building the service users skills and confidence, improving their ability to maintain their accommodation, increasing their independence to achieve agreed goals.
The project is funded through the Supporting People Programme Grant and is required to meet the Welsh Government’s National Outcomes Framework. The Framework’s four main aims are:
* Promoting Personal and Community Safety
* Promoting Independence and Control
* Promoting Economic Progress and Financial Control
* Promoting Health and Wellbeing
Purpose of Role
This role will be responsible for coordinating and providing a flexible person centred, solution focused service, working within a housing setting, often with individuals with complex needs who are at risk of homelessness. The role involves housing management, providing support to maintain a safe and stable environment, and assisting residents with various aspects of daily life, including financial management, accessing benefits, and finding employment.
Intensive Housing Worker is based around the ethos that housing is a human right and differs from traditional supported housing and homelessness provision that place conditions on people to prove that they are ready for independent housing. Intensive Housing Workers play a crucial role in helping vulnerable individuals achieve stable and independent living by providing comprehensive support and guidance throughout their housing journey.
Following similar principles set out by the Housing First model, it is a housing led approach with critical time interventions to successfully support people with repeat histories of homelessness, who experience multiple disadvantages, into independent and stable accommodation, through the provision of intensive wrap-around and trauma informed support.
