Working flexibly across street outreach and hub-based support on a rota basis, you ll build meaningful relationships, carry out trauma-aware assessments and coordinate practical support that helps people take their next steps. You ll work within a 'No Wrong Door' approach, supporting people wherever and however they engage. That might mean meeting someone early in the morning on outreach, supporting them to access the hub later that day, or working alongside partners to remove barriers that have kept them excluded in the past. This is a role with variety, challenge and real impact. You ll respond to complex situations, manage risk thoughtfully, and support people through moments of crisis and change. The work can be unpredictable and includes early, late and weekend shifts as part of a 7-day rota but you won t be doing it alone. You ll be supported through reflective practice, supervision and training, as part of a skilled, compassionate and determined team. If you re motivated by persistence, partnership and meaningful outcomes, this is a chance to grow your skills while helping others move forward with dignity and hope. About you: You re motivated by helping people move away from harm and towards stability. You understand that progress isn t always linear, and you bring patience, persistence and empathy to your work. You use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and can stay calm and professional when situations are complex. You balance compassion with clear boundaries and use your judgement to manage risk and safeguarding effectively. You work well in a fast-moving environment. You can manage competing priorities, work independently in the community and keep clear, accurate records that support continuity and accountability. You value partnership and collaboration. You re confident working alongside housing, health, substance use and community safety services to deliver joined-up support and meaningful outcomes. You re flexible and reliable, and comfortable working across a rota that includes early and late shifts, evenings and weekends. You re open to working both on outreach and within a hub setting, adapting to service need while keeping people at the centre of what you do.
