The Boaz Trust is recruiting a Client Support Worker.
The Client Support Worker is a vital member of our frontline team, helping us to meet our organisational objective to ‘provide a local, compassionate infrastructure supporting people seeking sanctuary who become destitute.’
The client support team is currently made up of: 1 full time Client Support Worker (working with men who have been refused asylum), 2 part time Support Workers (one with a case load of refugees, and the other has a mixed case load of refugees and refused asylum seekers), and a full time Client Services Manager.
This is a growing area of our work, as we continue to ensure an excellent level of support for all clients whilst we increase the number of people in our accommodation.
As a client support worker, you will be primarily responsible for providing support for around 15 women who have been refused asylum and who are accommodated by the Boaz Trust, usually for a period of up to 12 months.
You will share in responsibility for ensuring that all Boaz clients (past, present and potential) are dealt with professionally and appropriately.
You will need to be well organised and make effective use of time, striking the balance between face to face support and completing case notes and other required documentation whilst being flexible enough to accommodate changes in plans and priorities. You will share responsibility for delivering a varied well-being programme for our clients and will also support clients through the processes as they move into and move on from Boaz accommodation. The work is varied, and there really is no such thing as a typical day!
We welcome applications from people who have previously worked in this sector, as well as from people who are looking to move into a new area of work and have transferable skills and experience.
Applications to Sarah Beaney, HR & Projects Manager at [email protected]. Closing date – 5pm 2nd Nov 2018.
