The difference you will make as a Support Assistant
Marsh Way House is a complex needs service providing short-term temporary accommodation to 48 single people, aged 16+ who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We also have a outreach rough sleeper support service on site who go out in early hours to try locate people rough sleeping and support them into accommodation.
You will be key in the day-to-day running of one of our supported housing services. We don’t run care homes, so there’s no need to provide personal care. The priority in your role includes the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our accommodation, including our customers. Working with people who have a range of needs, you could be doing any number of things. From supporting customers in conversations with calls from their GP, Social Services, or Benefits teams – to dealing with the emergency services including the Police and Ambulance, when the need arises.
You’ll log all incidents to make sure we have an accurate record of events. And when a customer leaves, you will clean and prepare their room, ready for the next occupant.
