Dover, United Kingdom Porchlight Full time

Because like you, we’re dedicated to changing attitudes and changing lives._

**About us**: 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.

**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. Each RSI Coach will carry a mixed caseload of clients and support them either in the community, within supported accommodation or Winter Night Shelters. The RSI Coach will work with individuals to address multiple complex needs, supporting them to become more resilient and live independent lives.

**What you need**:
A patient, compassionate understanding of individuals who have spent many years on the street and who may find it difficult to engage with mainstream services, and with individuals at times of crisis times in their lives who may struggle to access services for the first time.

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.

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.
