We are looking for an experienced Complex Needs Housing Case Worker to join a 47-bed homelessness hostel supporting individuals with complex needs to rebuild their lives and move into independent accommodation.

This is not a care role. You'll provide person-centred casework, helping residents overcome barriers, develop independent living skills, and access the support they need to achieve positive outcomes.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing a caseload and delivering tailored support plans

• Supporting residents with substance misuse, mental health needs, and complex behaviours

• Working closely with external agencies, including mental health, substance misuse, and social care services

• Completing risk assessments, safeguarding, and case records

• Supporting residents with housing, benefits, budgeting, and move-on plans

We're looking for someone with:

• Experience working in homelessness, supported housing, or a similar environment

• Knowledge of complex needs, mental health, and substance misuse

• Experience creating and managing support plans

• Strong safeguarding, risk management, and multi-agency working skills

• The confidence to work independently in a fast-paced environment

If you're passionate about supporting vulnerable adults and have the experience to make an immediate impact, we'd love to hear from you.
