Floating Support Officers

What the Service Provides

Our team of experienced Floating Support Officers provide flexible, personalised, and appropriate short term housing support for people with a range of needs, including managing the home, managing a tenancy and money management. Support is provided in people’s own homes, via phone or video call or in the community.

The service also signposts individuals and/or carers and family members as appropriate, to health and social care services, education, training, employment and support voluntary, community services that will assist with accessing and maintaining their housing and ability to live independently for longer.

Throughout the duration of support, Floating Support Officers will work collaboratively with clients using a person-centred, asset-based approach, including creating personalised support plans with clients, with goals and outcomes that are meaningful to them.

The Service provides support to clients to swiftly achieve their outcomes, with proactive signposting to wider services to enable longer term resilience and the ability to self-manage.

Whilst Floating Support Officers will primarily work in the geographical area for their team, in order to provide one cohesive Floating Support Service, the teams will collaborate and share work, knowledge and skills, and provide practical support and cover for each other.
