- Work alongside other agencies including, the local authority, mental health services, drug and alcohol, and housing providers.

While some of your time will be spent working daytime shifts, Monday-Friday, the role includes some early morning and late-night shifts. This will also include some weekend working. Being able to move across the City quickly and efficiently is essential for this post and a clean drivers’ license would be preferable, due to the locations of our properties.
