**The difference you’ll make**

Preventing homelessness is critical if we are to end veteran homelessness, and for some veterans the best outcome will be keeping the home they already have but are at risk of losing.

This is a key role and on a day to day basis, you will change the lives of veterans across the country.

**So, who are you?**

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team that will make a real difference to the lives of veterans in the UK and make a significant and meaningful difference.

If you have a passion for the mission, the ability to create excellent working relationships, and an understanding of the causes and solutions to homelessness, then you could be ideal for this role.

While desirable, being a member of the Armed Forces Community is not essential.

**Enjoy the rewards**

Working with us, you’ll enjoy competitive pay, 28 days holidays plus bank holidays, a wide range of benefits, flexible working, and the chance to learn valuable new skills. We empower our people to do great work by investing in learning, personal development, and technology.
