  • Managing a caseload of customers, helping them work towards independent living.
  • Coordinating referrals, assessments, and customer inductions.
  • Delivering focused support sessions on topics like budgeting, wellbeing, and employment skills.

  • Knowledge of housing and benefits advice.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • A Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care (or equivalent).
