Multi Need Supported Housing

Description

Wandsworth Council are developing a purpose built new Supported Housing facility in the heart of Wandsworth and are seeking to partner with an innovative care and support provider to create an inclusive model of care that will support up to 56 adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs, care leavers and other residents at risk of homelessness. We would therefore like to invite engagement around the concept and service design at this early stage from any interested parties. As a provider, you will have a proven track record of working successfully with different client groups, hold the relevant CQC registration (where required) and have an existing operating presence within Wandsworth or the surrounding boroughs. Each client group will have varying support needs, so it is essential that the provider is able to deliver tailored support to: . Adults with a Learning Disability who may require physical and personal care and support to maximise their potential, build and maintain their life skills, personal development and quality of life. Adults with enduring Mental health needs who may require care and support to promote and maintain their recovery from mental ill health, promote their life skills, promote their independence and participation and integration in their local communities. Care leavers who may require tailored support to live independently and fulfil their potential in adulthood. Residents at risk of homelessness who may require short term support to address any factors that have led to a risk of homelessness and ensure they have the necessary life skills to reduce any homelessness in the future. Any interested provider should be aware that the required elements for the proposed service must include a core and flexi model. The Outcomes for each Service User will be detailed in their Support Plan, and may fall into none, one, or more of the following areas: a. Exercise choice and control: via a personalised approach, making choices that they consider best for themselves; this includes at times, making choices that others may consider unwise. b.
