Posted: 3 weeks ago
Are you passionate about making a tangible impact locally and changing the lives of vulnerable young people? Roundabout’s Sheffield Dispersed Service is looking for a Key Worker to prevent homelessness among young people aged 16-25 in Sheffield.
About the role
The Roundabout Sheffield Dispersed service provides high-quality semi-supported housing for young people aged 16-25. Offering self-contained and well-furnished accommodation, the service caters to the diverse needs of young people, employing a one-to-one strength-based approach to build trust, break down barriers, and support personal progression.
You will provide housing related support to young people in Roundabout accommodation by enabling them to complete a planned programme of resettlement and move to independent living. Our Support Workers have a positive approach to providing intensive and structured one-to-one key work sessions with young people, which will help them develop the necessary skills needed for future independence. Within the role you will work primarily with young people aged 16- 25 that are homeless, preparing to move towards independence by supporting them to access to good quality, safe and secure accommodation.
You will actively seek to understand the backgrounds and behaviours of our young people and promote positive engagement to participate in support offered and to access other services in line with their needs and goals for the future. You will maintain accurate and thorough records, and complete safety and risk
assessments and needs assessments for young people.
