Do you believe everyone should have a place to call home and the chance to lead a fulfilling life?

​

HARP is Southend-on-Sea’s leading homelessness charity. On average, we help around 1,000 local people every year to overcome or avoid homelessness. In addition to providing essential short-term emergency shelter, food, clothing and washing facilities, we work to identify the root causes of homelessness, creating tailored support for each person’s circumstances. We currently manage 236 bed spaces in our emergency and short-term accommodation where there is a focus on recovery from alcohol and illicit substances. Recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time that recovery is possible for everyone. Tis role will be responsible for helping and inspiring residents to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community by encouraging residents to lead their own recovery. This role involves working together with residents to co-produce personalised support plans designed to address their specific needs and achieve their goals and aspirations.

​

Are you a motivated and passionate individual looking to make a real difference in your local community? Are you also available at the weekends on a rota basis to put your skills to good use helping others less fortunate?  If so, we would love you to join our team as a Recovery Project Worker.

​​

• Experience of working in the substance misuse sector.

• Experience of holistic assessment of need, support and risk, and multi-agency casework planning.

• The ability to deliver structure interventions to service users in times of crisis.  

• Enthusiastic about working in a psychologically informed environment, and creative in your approach to service delivery.

• Resilient in, and motivated by, a constantly changing and busy environment.
