**THE JOB**

Following a successful partnership bid with Horsham District and Mid Sussex Councils to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Rough Sleeper Initiative, we are seeking to recruit an Outreach Worker for Mid Sussex.

There is a relatively low but a very significant level of rough sleeping, street community and single homelessness in Mid Sussex. Those who have worked with vulnerable individuals in this local area confirmed those known to be rough sleeping generally have a high level of complex needs and are often resistant to engage with services, as well as those facing chronic social exclusion in the community who may be vulnerably housed.

Based primarily in Hayward’s Heath but must be able to travel throughout the district, the MSOW will lead on assessing and supporting rough sleepers, building rapport and developing relationships with those who have been hard to engage with, the overall aim will be to end the need for local people to sleep rough. The MSOW will work in close partnership with the Mid Sussex District Homelessness Prevention team, ensuring single homeless individuals can access relevant support from the council.

This is an opportunity to make a real difference to vulnerable people’s lives within our communities through developing our outreach capacity and offer in Mid Sussex.

**APPLICATIONS**

**No agencies please.**
