The role will help build a continually developing community, not just a service, with true power-sharing at its core. The service has a dual focus: Proactive outreach support to people experiencing street homelessness Provision of a bespoke 6 bedroomed accommodation service for people with experience of homelessness and complex needs which may include mental health, substance misuse and physical health needs.

Turning Point has several well-established services within Staffordshire. You will form part of a wider supportive team within the region and there is the opportunity for growth in the future. Role Responsibility As a complex needs recovery worker your role will be varied and flexible in its delivery. In the first instance you will help to establish access to the services by engaging with rough sleepers at street level and initiating a street-based triage to assess the most appropriate accommodation support required. You will need to have the confidence and experience to be able to gain the trust and confidence of rough sleepers, as well as the ability to advocate on their behalf with a range of housing providers. Post assessment, the recovery worker will continue to work with guests as well as providers across housing, mental health and substance misuse to support a move in and sustainability of accommodation. Your role will be to provide motivational support to guests across dispersed housing including Turning Point's new supported accommodation to help them to sustain engagement with health or other professionals and encourage them to maintain their ongoing treatment and recovery paths.
