Specialist Worker

Dover, Kent, United Kingdom Porchlight Full time
Salary
£25,694 rising to £28,368 per annum after 5 years' service.

  • Location
    Dover
  • This is a _
- temporary_
- , _
- full time_
- vacancy_
- that will close _
- in 8 days_

- at 08:00 BST_

- . _

The vacancy
Kent has one of the highest percentages of female homelessness in the country.

You will support women who are homeless or at risk of becoming so.

Many will have complex needs (which are different to those of their male counterparts) that make it harder for them to engage with support services and leave the streets behind.


This will involve helping women address issues which may have led to the loss of previous accommodation and helping them connect with other support agencies where necessary.

It will also involve helping Porchlight to develop its specialist services for homeless women.

What you need:

  • A patient, compassionate approach to helping people
  • An understanding of people who have been homeless for a long time / are going through a time of crisis in their lives, and as a result may find it difficult to engage with support services
  • Experience of supporting women who have complex needs, including those with dual diagnosis (both mental health and substance misuse related)
  • Good communication and negotiation skills, and an ability to empower people and help them reach their full potential
  • The ability to work both as part of a team and independently
  • The ability to develop new services for women (this will involve including women in the development process to ensure services meet their needs)
Working Hours: 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday with some flexibility required.

Contract:
Fixed Term until 30th June 2024

The charity
Porchlight is a charity supporting people who are homeless, vulnerable, and isolated. At Porchlight, we are passionate about helping vulnerable people to reach their full potential.

We strive for a fairer society where vulnerable people find stability, the most excluded are included, and where homelessness and poverty are things of the past.
