**The role**:
The Rough Sleeping Initiative (RSI) partnership including Dover and Folkestone & Hythe councils and Porchlight are delivering support services to rough sleepers in the districts to secure and maintain accommodation and develop independent living skills. The RSI Coach will work closely with the Rough Sleeping Initiative Team to provide strength-based support to single people that are street homeless, at risk of rough sleeping or living in supported accommodation.

The RSI Coach will work with individuals to address multiple complex needs, supporting them to become more resilient and live independent lives.

Excellent communication, administrative and negotiation skills. Enjoy working both as part of a busy team and independently within the community. A passion for working in a client focused manner and be committed to achieving positive outcomes for the people you support. An ability to set clear goals and boundaries, to empower clients, identify with clients and help them reach their full potential. A high level of resilience and the ability to work under sustained pressure.
