Tewkesbury Borough Council have an exciting opportunity within the Housing Advice Team.



It is recognised that sometimes households need help in a number of support areas when facing homelessness. Aspiring to work within a trauma-informed approach, the team aims to react quickly to those needs. They conduct assessments and produce support plans to address those needs appropriately.



The team work alongside other services including -


Gloucestershire Housing Partnership Team, Mental Health support, Substance Misuse support, Rough Sleeper Outreach and many others to develop consistent pathways and effective processes.
We have a permanent role which has become available for a post which will provide housing related support and manage statutory responsibilities for homelessness cases.



You will work alongside the Housing Interventions Officer to provide responsive needs-led interventions with customers in order to help customers live independently. Sometimes you will provide further support to meet any practical, social and emotional needs identified in assessments, or their personalised housing plans.



Are you someone who has experience of working effectively with a range of services? Do you have the skills, passion, and resilience to work creatively with customers to understand and work to meet their needs?



Whilst in post there will be development opportunities alongside flexible working with the option of a hybrid working environment with visits to accommodation provision and external meetings regularly required.

For an informal discussion about this post, please contact John Bryant, Head of Housing on 01684 272162 or john.bryant@tewkesbury.gov.uk
