Support Workers like Jyl are the heart of our female supported housing services. Are you driven by the desire to support females from 18-65 in #Norwich and ready to play a vital role in a dynamic team? 🙌 We have an exciting opening for a Support Worker at Hinde House, our female supported housing location in Norwich. In this role, you’ll ensure that our service users benefit from outstanding support tailored to their goals and dreams. You’ll be part of a team that works closely with service users, helping them feel secure, content with the services provided, and empowered to broaden their life experiences. At Orwell, we’re embracing trauma-informed approaches, and you’ll help guide our staff in assisting individuals with complex emotional needs. If this resonates, we’d love to hear from you.

Reflecting on International Men’s Day: “Positive Role Models” Today, we celebrate the theme of this year’s International Men’s Day, “Positive Role Models.” 🌟 Our friends at Suffolk Mind have just launched a powerful short film titled “What if…” 🎥. This film shares real-life stories from local men, highlighting how they navigate their mental health by ensuring their needs are met. 👉 Check it out here: vimeo.com/1009104409 Since its inception in 1999, International Men’s Day has grown stronger each year, now celebrated in over 90 countries worldwide. This day honors positive male role models and the loving strength men bring to their families and communities. 💪❤️ Talk Club #InternationalMensDay #mensmentalhealth #mentalhealth #teamorwell

Independent East Conference: A Resounding Success! 👨🏽🤝👨🏼🏡🎉 We recently hosted our biennial conference at Trinity Park, Ipswich, bringing together board members, customers, and local authority stakeholders. The event was a hub of innovation and collaboration within the housing sector. First off, we were treated to keynotes from Jonathan Walters (Deputy CEO, Regulator for Social Housing) and Kate Henderson (CEO, National Housing Federation) who shared insights on sector challenges and government commitments to affordable housing. We also explored AI in Housing as Michael Appleby (MD, Altair Consulting) discussed the future impact of AI in the sector. And finally, a fantastic open discussion lead by Havebury Housing Partnership and Saffron Housing Trust as they shared their experiences of the new regulatory regime following their recent inspections. The exchange of ideas and commitment to collective problem-solving was inspiring. A big thank you to all our speakers and attendees for making this event such a success! Together, we’re driving positive change in the housing sector and are looking forward to continuing this dialogue and improving housing outcomes for all. We are better, together. #HousingInnovation #Collaboration #IndependentEast Saffron Housing Trust Limited Havebury Housing Partnership Broadland Housing Group Freebridge Community Housing #ai #housingassociation #artificialintelligence
