About Nacro:
We believe that for people who end up in prison, it should be the start of somewhere better - not a road to nowhere. We don't just talk about positive social change at Nacro. We do it every day: challenging unfairness, breaking down barriers, and giving some of the most vulnerable people the best chance at a second chance.
Do you want a career that makes a real difference to people's lives? Do you want to work for an organisation that will invest in your personal development?
You've come to the right place! Join our growing team of Accommodation Advisors in North Wales.
What do our Accommodation Advisors do?
Working in partnership with the Prison and Probation Service, you'll work with a caseload of adult males in custody to provide advice and support relevant to their housing needs. You'll carry out initial assessments to understand each person's specific needs to agree on a tailored action plan. This may include the provision of support to end or sustain a tenancy, find accommodation, or basic budgeting advice and liaison with other agencies. You'll provide support face to face with individuals and groups.
Who are we looking for?
You will need to be a great communicator, enjoy working in a busy people-focused role, organized and solution-focused. The right candidate can engage others and is non-judgmental. You will bring with you integrity, a proactive attitude, and good ICT skills (MS Office including Excel and custom databases).
Our ideal candidate will have experience of working in the criminal justice sector and some knowledge of homelessness legislation. However, we will provide you with the relevant training and support required for the job.
If you want to work as part of a dynamic supportive team who delivers results for the people we support every day, Nacro could be the place for you.
