What is an Enablement Officer?

An Enablement officer is dedicated to providing support to individuals facing three or more areas of significant vulnerability who may be lacking support, nearing a crisis, or feeling isolated.

What might make someone in need of support?

• Physical or mental health issues
• Disability and/or differently abled
• Poverty, debt, or homelessness
• Substance misuse or close family of an alcohol or substance misuser
• Fear/risk of abuse
• Social isolation and/or loneliness.

If you are struggling with three or more of these issues you may benefit from working with our Enablement Officer.

What might the enablement officer help me with?

The Enablement Officer will listen to you and identify areas where the London Irish Centre might be able to support or signpost you, such as providing housing or benefits advice, food or financial support, statutory services advocacy, social opportunities or any other activity that might help improve your mental or physical wellbeing.
