The Service

LinkLiving’s Mental Health and Wellbeing service provides intensive housing management support for people struggling to manage their homes.

The Job

The purpose of the job is to provide practical and emotional support to people who hoard. Through building positive relationships with the service’s clients, you will work with them to maintain their home. Clients of the service may be tenants of housing associations, the council or they may be private homeowners or renters.

A hoarding disorder is characterised by excessive accumulation and attachment to possessions regardless of their value and is recognised as a mental illness which is why the hoarding practitioner will sit within the Mental Health and Wellbeing team. Many people with a hoarding disorder do so because of a perceived potential usefulness or an emotional attachment which often leads to a strong resistance when making the decision to let go of items. This role will require you to provide both emotional and practical support to clients to address these issues, having a can-do attitude is essential. The range of tasks that this role involves aligns with tasks commonly referred to as intensive housing management.

You will have knowledge of available grants and resources for individuals on low incomes. Adaptability is key, as is the ability to build meaningful relationships and partnerships with other voluntary and statutory organisations.

You’ll be a proactive team player who can work openly and honestly within a team setting, while also being confident in prioritising and managing both your own workload. Reflective practice will be important to you—you’ll welcome feedback and support to ensure continuous improvement in your work.
