**An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team supporting people at risk of homelessness in a hospital setting.**:
**About the project**:
The Hospital Inreach service operates across 3 sites in Edinburgh; the Western General Hospital, The Royal Infirmary and the Royal Edinburgh Psychiatric hospital. The project supports people to complete courses of treatment within hospital and to plan for a discharge into accommodation that suits their needs and aids their recovery.

A quote from someone who used the service,

“You literally saved my life, I was sitting in my bed thinking I have nowhere to stay, and when they tell me to leave I will be on the streets in winter and won’t survive the cold or I would have to start using again and that would be it for me. Then you came into the ward to offer your service and it was like being sent an Angel to look out for me”

**About the role**:
Working alongside clinicians in the hospital settings, you will provide one-to-one person-centred support to people in hospitals. You will work with individuals to enable them to identify housing options, personal outcomes and priorities for their health and wellbeing and link them to local support services and activities.

**About you**:
You will have experience of working with people who are experiencing complex social and emotional circumstances, and a strong understanding of the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness. You will use your excellent interpersonal skills to deliver effective one-to-one work as well as make connections with other organisations.

**How we will support you**:
We will encourage you to be creative and innovative in your approach to supporting people. You will be part of a small team, led by a supportive manager. You’ll also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.

**About us**:
At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We understand that there are many routes into homelessness, and that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures. That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based. You can

**Application Notes**:
This vacancy will be closed once we have appointed.
