Senior Project Worker

At Turning Tides, we’re passionate about tackling the complex issue of homelessness and transforming lives. Our mission goes beyond simply providing shelter; we strive to build a community where everyone has access to safe, secure housing and the support they need to thrive. As we continue to grow and expand our reach, we are excited to introduce Skywaves—a groundbreaking, high-support service aimed at making a lasting impact.

Skywaves offers 21 self-contained rooms, along with shared communal spaces, designed to provide a safe, supportive environment for those facing some of the most difficult challenges. It is a service tailored to meet the needs of individuals who are actively using substances, coping with dual diagnoses, mental health conditions, or have faced multiple exclusions from other services.

What You Bring to the Role

As a Senior Project Worker, you will provide comprehensive, client-centred support to individuals with multiple and complex needs, including substance misuse, mental health issues, and histories of trauma and criminal justice involvement. You’ll work closely with clients, creating personalised support plans that foster harm reduction, development, and progress. This role places you as the primary point of contact for a caseload of clients, where you’ll perform regular assessments, monitor risks, and guide clients toward independent, positive futures.

You will work collaboratively with both internal teams and external agencies to deliver coordinated care, serving as a mentor to project workers, night staff, and volunteers. Your proactive approach will help establish a supportive environment for clients and enhance the overall service quality through guidance, support, and feedback.
