Specialist Support Worker

Based in Higher Openshaw, East Manchester, Justlife currently works across Manchester and Tameside providing one-to-one key work support to empower vulnerable adults housed in temporary accommodation (TA) to move towards more secure housing, independent living and improved health and wellbeing.

The Specialist Support Worker plays an active part in the Specialist Support Team by supporting a caseload of clients experiencing housing vulnerability and taking part in regular outreach visits to TA’s across Greater Manchester on the Justlife minibus. The role requires specialist knowledge and relationship skills to support clients with varying degrees of mental and physical health, addiction, and trauma‑related issues to engage with health services and obtain suitable housing solutions.

The Specialist Support Worker is also expected to develop good working relationships with TA landlords and managers, recognising the important role they play in ensuring tenants experience of TA is as positive as possible.
