We are looking for a resilient and empathetic professional to provide practical, person-centred support to households where living conditions pose risks to health, safety, and independence.

Safeguarding:Recognise safeguarding thresholds, making timely referrals and escalating concerns regarding non-engagement or impaired capacity.
Support:Connect customers with services addressing underlying causes, such as mental health, trauma, or substance misuse.
About You
You are a reflective practitioner with a non-judgemental approach, capable of balancing client autonomy with risk reduction.
Essential Skills & Experience:
Experience:proven track record of working with people with complex needs (hoarding/self-neglect) and building constructive relationships with reluctant or anxious customers.
Risk Assessment:Skilled in using structured tools (clutter scales, hazard checklists) to assess fire and environmental risks within the home.
Knowledge:Strong understanding of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, and safeguarding pathways.
Resilience:Emotional resilience to handle high-risk situations, with a willingness to engage in supervision.
Good communication and IT skills:The ability to write clear case notes, risk assessments, safeguarding referrals and reports, and to liaise effectively with a range of partners.
