We’re looking for a part time Outreach Support Worker to join us on a fixed term contract, to support vulnerable individuals across the Epping and Harlow area of Essex. You’ll be helping people overcome challenges related to mental health, physical health, and employment.
What your day might look like
* Start by visiting customers in their homes, helping them maintain their tenancies and build essential life skills.
* Support individuals with navigating welfare benefits, accessing services, and building confidence.
* Liaise with external agencies to ensure customers get the right support at the right time.
* Provide crisis intervention when needed, always with empathy and professionalism.
What makes this role special
Please note, this isn’t a personal care worker role. This is a role where it’s about empowering people, not doing things for them. You’ll help customers build resilience, develop skills, and take control of their lives. You’ll be their cheerleader, guide and advocate.
You’ll be part of a passionate team that’s committed to helping people flourish, and you’ll have the freedom to work independently while making a real impact. A role where your support creates independence
