Full job description
This role is also known as Floating Support Worker
Hours: 37.5 hours per week
Location: Manchester
Salary: £24,699 – £28,312 per annum
Emerging Futures works nationally with people affected by addiction, encouraging them to make positive changes to their lives.
We believe that no one should suffer the stigma associated with addiction, and that everyone seeking support should feel valued and respected.
We provide homes for people to connect with others and make the necessary changes to move towards independent, healthy living.
Our behaviour change services provide a confidential space to share experiences, and offer practical support to those who want to change.

Your work will take you across the city, collaborating with CGL’s treatment provider, and other partner agencies, such as night shelters and hostels. You’ll create a solution-focused, integrated support pathway, ensuring effective collaboration to avoid duplication.
You’ll also identify local resources to enhance support, aiming to improve access to sustainable housing; reduce unplanned exits from drug and ******* treatment and provide effective housing support and address unmet housing needs.
About you
You may have a coaching, counselling or health & social care qualification. You should also have:
Experience delivering evidence-based interventions for individuals impacted by substance misuse and/or offending.
Proven success in supporting tenancy sustainment and fostering positive community connections.
