As a Housing Support Specialist for Care Leavers, your primary responsibility will be to engage with young adults who are either homeless or at risk of homelessness, guiding them through the various options available to them. You will deliver comprehensive support aimed at helping them prioritize their housing needs and comprehend their housing choices, ensuring they find suitable pathways to stable living conditions.

The assistance you provide will be both practical and emotional, potentially involving attendance at meetings, budgeting support, and equipping them with the skills necessary to maintain a tenancy and navigate their housing challenges effectively.

In this position, you will collaborate closely with Personal Advisors and external organizations, including housing providers, substance misuse services, adult social care, mental health professionals, and probation services, to tackle the factors that elevate the risk of homelessness among care leavers.

While this role can be immensely fulfilling, it may also present emotional challenges, as it involves working with vulnerable young individuals who may have complex needs. You may encounter challenging behaviors from the young people accessing our services.

At West Sussex County Council, we recognize that our employees are at the heart of our mission. We strive to foster a supportive and dynamic work environment where our staff can reach their full potential, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and receive recognition for their contributions. Upon joining, you will benefit from a variety of offerings, including:

  • an excellent benefits package
  • generous holiday entitlement (with the option to purchase additional leave)
  • flexible working arrangements, tailored to your role
  • parental leave options
  • opportunities for volunteering
  • training and development initiatives, including coaching and mentoring
  • access to numerous discounts on groceries, travel, entertainment, and leisure activities, potentially saving over £1,000 annually through our benefits platform
  • health and wellness resources, including an Employee Assistance Programme and support from Mental Health First Aiders
