GDAS is recruiting for roles to join our Assertive Outreach Team funded by the Housing Support Grant. The Assertive Outreach Team seeks to achieve the objectives set out in The Welsh Government’s Substance Use Delivery Plan.
The AO team provides the support needed to prevent people with substance use and other complexities from becoming homeless, stabilising their housing situation, or helping potentially homeless people to find and keep accommodation. It supports vulnerable people to address multiple complex needs such as debt, employment, tenancy management, substance use, violence against women, domestic abuse, sexual violence, and mental health-related issues.
Support is person-centred, aimed at helping people secure and maintain sustainable housing by addressing the mental health and substance misuse or other problems they face, improving their health and well-being, and/or helping them progress into or nearer to a job or training opportunity based on their specific circumstances.
