The role

On any given day you might make a difference by supporting an older woman with dementia to remain independent in her home and maintain contact with her network of friends in her community. You might help a young man with autism move into his first home away from his family, and support him to understand his excitement and fear at this big life step. You might support a father of young children with his benefits claims and understanding his responsibilities as a tenant to reduce the risk of eviction. You might support a woman who has been in hospital for many years to move into her own home again and support her right to make her own decisions in how she chooses to live. You might support a mother who struggles with her mental health to improve her well being by making healthy food choices on a budget and keeping on top of her medications.
