This is an opportunity to join Refuge as a Housing Support Worker to provide high quality practical and emotional support to survivors of domestic abuse and their children living in our dispersed refuge accommodation in Warwickshire.

You will form a team that makes up the Warwickshire Dispersed Safe Accommodation service. This service provides emergency safe accommodation across Warwickshire with high-quality domestic abuse support, 'by-and-for' services for survivors of domestic abuse and their children. Housing Support Workers will work closely with the Floating Support Workers and Child Support Workers (who provide the personal support to survivors of domestic abuse and their children) to ensure that the emergency accommodation and support meets the whole range of survivors' needs.

The post holder will be responsible for the Health and Safety and maintenance of emergency safe accommodation units in multiple 1-3-bedroom properties across Warwickshire. This will include the practical set up and maintenance of home furnishings and utilities in each property and the management of the cleaning and replacements required between each use of the accommodation unit.

The post holder will provide support to survivors fleeing domestic abuse around accessing housing benefit for the dispersed accommodation and support survivors with exploring and accessing move on accommodation. You will also be responsible for ensuring that the properties will maintain Refuge's accommodation standards and comply with all Health and Safety legislation and requirements

As part of this role, you will be required to participate in an out-of-hours on call rota.
