Sonic Summary

info
  • The Case Coordinator role involves supporting individuals at risk of homelessness to maintain safe accommodation and develop independent living skills.
  • Candidates should have experience working with vulnerable or marginalized groups and a valid UK driving license with access to a vehicle.
  • The position requires a strong understanding of the challenges faced by those with complex needs and a commitment to delivering person-centered support.
  • The salary is based on a sliding scale with annual increases during the first three years, along with benefits such as 27 days of annual leave and access to counseling sessions.
  • Applicants should have at least one year of experience in a supportive role, and the job includes an on-call requirement of one week in every four.

As a Case Coordinator, you will play a vital role in supporting individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness to sustain their accommodation and build more independent lives. You'll work directly with clients to ensure their accommodation is safe and well-maintained, while also helping them manage personal finances, including benefit applications and budgeting support.

You'll be responsible for maintaining accurate, up-to-date records of all client interactions and will support the Service Manager and Regional Manager with data reporting to partners and funders as needed.



Key Responsibilities

  • Track and manage referrals into the service, as well as outcomes for clients exiting the service, using our internal case management system and the Bristol Housing Support Register (HSR).

  • Complete needs and risk assessments, leading to the delivery of personalised support plans tailored to each client's circumstances.

  • Ensure new clients understand their rights, responsibilities, and the terms of their licence agreements, and that a valid Housing Benefit claim is in place.

  • Deliver high-quality, person-centred support using a strength-based and trauma-informed approach.

  • Maintain a high standard of health and safety in client accommodation.



What We're Looking For

  • A valid UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (business insurance required).

  • An understanding of the root causes of homelessness, offending, and social exclusion, and an appreciation of effective, client-focused approaches to addressing these issues.

  • Empathy, resilience, and a strong understanding of the challenges faced by people with complex needs and challenging behaviours.

  • Experience working with vulnerable or marginalised groups in a supportive, person-led role.

  • On-call Requirement: 1 in every 4 weeks (105/week)
