Our client prevents rough sleeping by helping people maintain their existing accommodation or rapidly access alternative accommodation as well as providing a safe and welcoming place and humanitarian aid for people facing rough sleeping.

They are looking for a person who has a desire to help people who are currently experiencing homelessness. You may already have knowledge and understanding of homelessness, maybe through a previous job, as a volunteer or through your own lived experience.

You will be the sort of person who sees people experiencing rough sleeping or sofa surfing as people, not just as ‘rough sleepers’ or ‘service users’. You will be self-aware, compassionate, non-judgmental, and have a strong degree of emotional intelligence. You will be motivated, great at talking to people, organised, and willing to learn. You will be able to respond flexibly, confidently, and professionally to any challenges that may arise.
