Обязанности

We’re looking for a Housing First Pathway Coach (or ‘Caseworker’) to transform the lives of disadvantaged people by helping them transition into their own, long-term, housing. You’ll be at the forefront of Beam’s Housing First programme in Oxford, designed to support those experiencing homelessness whose needs aren’t met by traditional homelessness services.
You’ll take on the responsibility of supporting a small caseload of people referred to Beam, our “members”. You’ll be playing a leading and critical role in supporting these members to sustain stable housing provided by the Council, ensuring they engage with other services and building their independence.
This involves a wide range of member-led support activities tailored to each individual’s needs. You’ll guide clients through the processes of moving into and looking after a home, accessing support services, and connecting with their community. Equally important, you’ll work to boost their self-confidence and autonomy through personalised coaching, skill development, and encouragement.
