What will the role look like?
We are looking for individuals who are passionate, resilient, and enthusiastic to join our Navigator Team. Our Navigators work across Leeds with individuals that have experienced homelessness or housing issues to support them into accommodation and help them to sustain their tenancy. We work with people who have experienced a range of complex issues including homelessness, substance misuse, and mental health issues and may have a history of offending behaviour.
We work in a person-centred way to ensure that we build strong relationships with the people we support. We are looking for driven and energetic individuals to join this team. Working closely in partnership with other services, we support people to access services and interventions they need to build their resilience, gain confidence, and acquire the personal and social assets they need to move forward. This role will work with individuals who have a high city centre street presence, so it will involve working with our Street support partnership agencies.
We welcome applications from people who can work in a proactive way and apply creative solutions to reduce barriers, someone who understands and cares about the needs of the individual and is not easily phased. Building the relationship can be difficult but with your consistent support and being a key point of contact to meet individual needs, we achieve really positive outcomes.
At Barca-Leeds, we recognise the value that people who have their own experience of multiple disadvantage can bring to the team and encourage applications from people who may not have the work experience but do have lived experience.
