York, United Kingdom City of York Council Full time

This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive, robust and determined person who shares our commitment to end rough sleeping as soon as possible.

City of York Council are looking to recruit a committed and enthusiastic individual to provide intensive support to rough sleepers from the streets and into their own accommodation.

You will support a caseload of customers, involving direct engagement with customers to identify their support needs and explore the barriers which have prevented them having effective engagement with services.

You will aim to find ways of supporting customers to improve engagement with services and encourage holistic multi-agency working to develop realistic support plans.

Customers may be vulnerable and under a lot of stress and therefore the successful applicants will have good interpersonal skills and will understand the issues facing homeless people and rough sleepers. You will be capable of working on your own initiative under the guidance of a supervisor.

We’re looking for someone who can develop and maintain strong working relationships with customers and colleagues, as well as with staff from the various support organisations and accommodation providers we work with.

You will need to have the drive and commitment to support an often vulnerable and challenging client group. Excellent communication, influencing and reasoning skills are key, as is the ability to solve problems effectively. You will be expected to plan ahead, organise deadlines and to be able to manage your own workload in a busy, fast paced environment.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.

The duties of this post require the postholder to undertake a basic Criminal Record check (unspent convictions only) via the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Closing date: Monday 1 April 2024 at 12 midnight

Interview date: Thursday 11 April 2024
