@shaheerwillis
I support vulnerable people with housing, mental health, benefits, and trauma-informed care.
What I'm looking for
At Peabody, I support residents with mental health needs and complex backgrounds to maintain tenancies, manage finances, access benefits, and build independence through risk assessments and tailored support plans.
I've also provided trauma-informed support at Medaille Trust for survivors of modern-day slavery and holistic homelessness support at St Mungo's. My background includes mental health support, independent-living planning, safeguarding, multidisciplinary working, accurate case recording, and customer-facing roles where I trained colleagues and delivered personalised service.
