About the role The Kerrigan Project provides support and accommodation for 9 people. The project is aimed at people who have complex needs including a combination of substance misuse, offending and mental ill-health. We provide 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. Your night will consist of:

This is a challenging role as this service delivers intensive support around each client’s recovery before focus is put on the housing related support and you will be faced with complex behaviours and needs, including alcohol misuse, mental health, substance misuse, anti-social behaviour and offending behaviour.
