The Role
Many of the people accessing RSC services face multiple challenges beyond those presented by problematic substance use. Some people are homeless or are facing loss of accommodation, they may have a history of repeat homeless and struggle to remain in their home without support. Some people have a history of offending and may have spent periods of time in prison and under the supervision of the Probation Service. People facing these multiple challenges are more likely to also have a history of mental ill-health, trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and are the group that are at the highest risk of harm among those who access the RSC service.
The Housing & Criminal Justice Pathways worker role is to support people facing these multiple, complex and interlinked challenges. Building trusting relationships with the people you will support can be a difficult, frustrating and challenging process - challenging stigma, barriers and "closed doors" along the way.

Skills and Qualifications
· Good general education with GCSEs (or equivalent) in Maths and English.
· Proficient in Microsoft Office programmes.
· Knowledge of welfare benefits system and relevant legislation.
· You will have a passion for making a difference and fair chances for all should be at the core of everything you do.
· You will be compassionate, with empathy for and an understanding of the needs of the individuals you will be supporting.
· You will have a tenacious, innovative and resilient approach to delivering support.
· The role will require you to deliver outreach support - a full UK driving licence and access to a car are a requirement of the post.

· Generous annual leave entitlement (27 days, plus bank holidays, increasing to 32 after 1 years’ service)
· Annual leave purchase scheme
· Enhanced occupational sick pay
· Enhanced employer contribution to your workplace pension
· Death in service benefit
· Free Will writing
