Our Staff

We have a specialised team including an in-house support structure that comprises specialist support workers such as:

 

• A Mental Health Psychologist

• Drug and Alcohol Officer

• A dedicated Resettlement Officer; and

• A Welfare Rights Officer.

 

This TRIAGE support system was established to offer a One-Stop “Shop” for clients to help reduce the stress and anxiety associated with having trying to sort things out themselves. Service users in our hostels are assessed, supported and signpost within 7 days of being accommodated to external agencies to speed up their journey of change.

• Assistance with securing suitable and appropriate permanent accommodation, in both the public and private housing sector.
