Creative Support, a not-for-profit provider of social care services, is pleased to be working in partnership with Liverpool City Council to provide a new floating support service for vulnerable adults across North Liverpool. The service will provide a tiered, time-limited support service for adults and young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the community. You will work with individuals with a range of support needs including mental health issues, alcohol and substance misuse issues, people with a learning disability and/or physical disability and people from the refugee community. The service will be based at a Community Hub in North Liverpool which will house the support team, provide drop-in services, courses and activities, and a touch-base service.

As a Hub Coordinator you will work alongside our Project Manager to coordinate the provision of outcome-focused, targeted support at our Community Hub in Liverpool. You will be responsible for overseeing the provision of support at the Hub, including drop-in sessions, courses and activities and telephone-based support.

You will seek out new opportunities for partnership working, ensuring people have access to services that are beneficial for their emotional, physical and financial wellbeing both at the Community Hub and in the wider community. The Hub will provide a community interface for the service where service users can access a range of services including drop-in advice and guidance, resources and signposting, computer facilities, planned workshops, activities and peer support networks.

As a manager you must have a professional approach with the ability to supervise, coach and guide the staff team to deliver a consistently personalised service. You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills. A relevant social care qualification is desirable and experience within a community-based support service is essential.
