The role of a Supported Housing Officer is to provide tailored help and support to our residents. Utilising Tyne’s model of support as a framework, you will work alongside each resident, providing practical, hands on support tailored to the needs of the individual in order to help them develop the skills and confidence they need to move towards independence.
As our support never stops, you will be asked to help provide, on a rota basis, some additional back-up to our out of hours service between 5-9 on weeknights.We’re incredibly proud of our Supported Housing Officers and the amazing job that they do. At a time when many people are thinking “How can I make a difference?” filling in this application form could be the first step to answering that question.
