About the Role
This is a hands-on, practical role supporting people who are rough sleeping and living with complex needs. You will work directly with individuals on the street, in the community and across local services, providing tailored one to one support to help them access housing, healthcare, treatment and wider support.
Key responsibilities include:
* Delivering early morning and late evening outreach based on local intelligence and Streetlink alerts
* Acting as a consistent point of contact for people using the service, ensuring they can access the right help at the right time
* Providing a person centred, trauma informed approach to each individual’s support plan
* Supporting people with practical day to day needs including health, benefits, community activities, budgeting and maintaining accommodation

* Understanding of housing, homelessness or related support services
* Strong communication and conflict management skills
* Ability to build trust and positive relationships with a wide range of partners
* A recovery focused, person centred approach
* Willingness to work early mornings, late evenings and weekends as part of a rota
