Community Support Worker

You will take a lead on referrals and requests for support where individuals and families are referred to us to tackle household furniture poverty but are often in need of more support than this.

You will deliver one-to-one intervention appointments and create an agreed support plan for individuals and families who have experienced homelessness, or who have recently been rehoused, and find themselves in furniture poverty.

They will be low-income families who need support to ensure that they are drawing down all applicable benefits, that they are accessing financial support for loans and debts, and that they are receiving other support and interventions they need.

You will also apply for individual grants to secure essential items of furniture &/or appliances which are missing from their home.
