London, Greater London, United Kingdom Crisis Full time

Crisis is a leading charity that helps people experiencing homelessness in England, Scotland, and Wales. Our mission is to end homelessness for good. We believe that everyone deserves a safe and stable place to call home.

We are currently seeking a skilled and compassionate Engagement and Assessment Worker to join our team at Crisis Skylight Brent. In this role, you will be part of our Engagement and Assessment Team, providing a high-quality, non-judgmental service to individuals who approach our Skylight Centre. You will be the first point of contact for a range of enquiries from people who are experiencing homelessness for the first time, individuals with complex and multiple needs, visitors, volunteers, and supporters.

Your key responsibilities will include providing information about Crisis' services, delivering a high-quality triage and assessment service, and offering Information, Advice, and Guidance (IAG) on local homelessness and other related services. You will also manage a small caseload and work collaboratively with external partners and Crisis Skylight Brent's Coaching and Learning Teams.

As an Engagement and Assessment Worker, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness. You will work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, using your skills and experience to provide a safe and supportive service to our clients.

To be successful in this role, you will need to have experience of working with homeless or other vulnerable groups, as well as a good understanding of homelessness, housing, and welfare legislation and Safeguarding procedures. You will also need to have excellent customer service skills, with a commitment to delivering the highest standard of customer care and high-quality IAG.

We believe that diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.

Crisis is a wonderful place to work, and we are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive work environment. We offer a range of benefits, including a competitive salary, interest-free loans for travel season tickets, cycle to work schemes, and more. We also provide opportunities for ongoing development and training, to help you build your skills and experience.

So, if you are passionate about making a difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness, and you have the skills and experience to succeed in this role, we would love to hear from you. Please click on the 'Apply for Job' button below to submit your application.
