Where does the role fit in?
The Old Bakery is a supported accommodation service delivering housing-related support to young people experiencing homelessness. This is a rewarding role where you will have the opportunity to empower our young people to grow and develop towards becoming independent.
Our team provides support to up to 5 individuals between the ages of 16 and 21. Located in the Aberdare area, this is a role where you have the autonomy to come up with innovative ideas that get our young people out and about to have new experiences and learn new skills.
The role involves lone working and dealing with challenging behaviours, so resilience, confidence, and the ability to work independently are essential. Our young people tend to stay at the service long term due to their age and the need for extended support to gain the skills required to maintain a tenancy.
Day-to-Day Duties:
As a Scheme Support Officer, you will work alongside the Project Workers providing the crucial support to our clients. It is also essential that the successful candidate is IT literate, as we use systems to record customers’ support plans and operate the service effectively.
Your day will consist of:
- Engaging and interacting with the people we support
- Delivering workshops relating to tenancy management, health, wellbeing, sexual health, and any other subject depending on the needs of our young people
- Supporting our young people as directed by the Project Worker according to the support plan specifically tailored to each person
- Wellbeing checks
- Ensuring the building is secure, including health & safety checks and maintaining an awareness of who is in the building
- Encouraging our people to engage in the support we have on offer to them
- Coming up with new, innovative ideas and activities
- Dealing with challenging behaviours and responding to arising needs
- Addressing any additional needs the people we support might have
