Description

Herefordshire council is continuing its commitment to offer local high quality accommodation and support services to vulnerable young people aged 16 to 25 years. This service will offer a housing related support service, complemented by an offer of targeted and universal prevention services. New premises have been sourced through a registered housing provider and a specialist support provider is sought to offer varying levels of support to young people with different needs. The services will offer young people in Herefordshire a safe, suitable and positive transition into adulthood.
The specialist support will focus on accommodation based support, family mediation and a floating support/outreach service.

All the services will support young people to identify how they can manage their own needs, mitigate risks and take up opportunities. There will be a particular focus on supporting them to obtain or maintain accommodation, or where homelessness is inevitable, to support them in securing and maintaining suitable alternative accommodation. This service will be tendered under the Light Touch arrangements of the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR 2015) If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity (including submitting a tender).
