About the role
Tempest Resourcing in partnership with Reading Borough Council are seeking a Senior Social Worker for their Advice and Wellbeing Hub (Homelessness)
This role plays a crucial part in breaking the cycle of rough sleeping, where individuals are placed in 24/7 supported accommodation (such as the Pods or Salvation Army) only to be evicted due to unmanaged behaviours like hoarding, poor personal care, aggression, or mental health issues.
By providing the right interventions, non-statutory commissioned services are able to manage these behaviours and support individuals in making progress towards a positive move-on, helping them sustain housing and work towards long-term stability.
The role offers flexible/hybrid working - you have the opportunity to work from home or in the Civic Offices in Reading. You will need to be based within commuting distance of Reading due to the nature of the role, which involves regular outreach, in-reach, and collaboration with local homelessness support services and housing providers.
Tempest Resourcing is one of the UK's leading Social Care recruitment agencies, proudly supplying high-quality candidates to more local authorities than any other provider. As a Tier 1 supplier to a significant number of councils across the country, we're perfectly positioned to help you - or someone you know - secure your next opportunity.
If you're interested in the role above or would like a confidential chat about your career options, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We're here to support your next move.
