At Sanctuary Supported Living, we specialise in delivering a wide range of personalised housing, care, and support services to help people across England to live as independently as possible.

We’re a national organisation, but we’re not-for-profit and we think locally by putting our customers at the heart of what we do. We’re committed to being our best and helping customers to be their best, as we support them on their pathways for independence.

No matter your job – delivering support directly or working in our offices to support our frontline teams – your work makes a difference every day.

Through day-to-day personalised support, we help people who have experienced or who are at threat of homelessness by helping them to succeed in education or employment, improve mental well-being or overcome reliance on addictive substances.

And working with us isn’t just another job. It’s rewarding, inspiring, exciting and it provides an opportunity to make a real, positive impact on people’s lives. Plus, we’ll support you in reaching your aspirations and career goals, through comprehensive training and benefits.

The role of Project Worker will include:

• Ensuring that relevant support is provided to empower our customers to maximise their own potential and level of independence
• Assessing customers’ needs by writing and updating support plans
• Being a first point of call to receive and direct all customer queries
• Developing professional relationships with customers, ensuring that customers maintain personal choice, privacy, and dignity
• Liaising with external support links to improve customers’ confidence, health and wellbeing and offer training and encouragement towards employment and education
• Handling occasional emergency situations
• Keeping accurate and high-quality written records

Skills and experiences:

• Experience of working with vulnerable adults, people with mental health needs or substance misuse
• A positive, can-do attitude
• Ability to work as part of a team and on own initiative
• Ability to hit the ground running and work under challenging circumstances
• Good communication skills

• Adaptable to internal and external changing demands
• Basic knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel or similar
• NVQ3 in Health & Social Care, or willing to work towards
