Manage and de-escalate challenging behaviours presented by clients.
Maintain a visible presence on the street during service operating hours to support public safety and community engagement.
Support the provision of safe, high-quality and holistic services to clients accessing Open Access Services- the one-stop service located at Riverbank.
Monitor and manage the Open Access Service client queuing area as required.

Environment Community Safety

Maintain cleanliness and safety around the building, including litter and drug-paraphernalia pick-up.
Conduct routine drug paraphernalia/syringe collection in surrounding areas and respond to community calls to remove drug-related litter.
Provide information and referrals to harm-reduction supports and other appropriate services.

Fire safety

Support colleagues and participate in team meetings, maintaining open and consistent communication.
Respond to reasonable tasks or directions from the Service Coordinator or Lead Worker to ensure the effective operation of services.
Report to the MQI Community Engagement Coordinator for supervision, support, and performance appraisal, operating within the National Standards for Safer Better Healthcare as well as MQI People and Culture (HR) and Health Safety policies.

Person Specification

Relevant third-level qualification in social work and at least one-year full time or equivalent experience of working within low-threshold services.

Understand issues relating to National Standards for Safer Better Healthcare- an understanding of issues relating to MQI client group (e.g. homelessness, mental health, trauma and substance misuse), their circumstances and vulnerability.
