ForHousing is a social purpose business that positively impacts communities by reinvesting profits, building vibrant and safe communities. We know that together we achieve more so we work with a range of like-minded partners to deliver positive change in communities and improve lives.
Forfutures is a service which delivers the homeless support service in Cheshire West and Chester in partnership with the Council. Forfutures is supporting those who are at risk of being homeless, those without secure accommodation and people sleeping rough. To support Cheshire West & Chester Council deliver their support to guests arriving in the borough under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, the forfutures team is being expanded and we are looking for 5 passionate and enthusiastic persons to join our team as Preventative Support Workers.
You will provide immediate and effective support to guests who are arriving into west Cheshire through the Ukraine sponsorship scheme, supporting customers to settle into their accommodation and help them reach their individual outcomes with either longer term resettlement or returns home.
