What is great about the role?
At the Grange, we provide support and accommodation to up to 10 people who are experiencing homelessness. Our focus is not just on providing housing related support, but we also allow our residents to access external services to support them with any other needs they may have, such as mental health and/or substance misuse.
We strive to ensure that all residents receive the very best support to enable and empower them to regain control and to sustain independence.
