Our client is one of England’s most successful home-grown charities. They provide free, confidential support for alcohol, drugs, housing, or mental health in friendly local places across the UK.

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. As a result the role is also highly diverse and rewarding, as you support people through their recovery journey.
You will be working within the wider RSC South Cumbria Team. This is a multi-disciplinary recovery team comprising Recovery Coordinators, Hope workers, Medics, a Counsellor, a Housing and Criminal Justice Pathways worker, an Employment specialist, an Admin team and Volunteers. They are a supportive and welcoming team, who are passionate about supporting and promoting recovery for those they care for and within their local community.
Key Responsibilities
· Manage a caseload, devising, implementing, and reviewing on-going co-produced support plans
· Supporting individuals to access and maintain engagement with wider support services including Recovery Coordinators, Probation Practitioners, Housing Options Teams and Housing Officers, and Mental Health teams
· Working collaboratively with key partners and colleagues to achieve the best health and well-being outcomes for individuals
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.
Benefits
· 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
· Eyecare vouchers
