About Us
Are you passionate about making a lasting difference to the lives of vulnerable adults?
The Network Rail Outreach team, will be providing vital outreach support to individuals who are currently rough sleeping in a number of key stations across Westminster. The team will work alongside the Street outreach team with the objective of supporting those rough sleeping to find a suitable and sustainable route away from the street.
Our belief is that rough sleeping is an intrinsically harmful and dangerous activity both for the individual and for the wider community. Therefore, we take a proactive and assertive approach to supporting people away from this activity. Our aim is to support people to recover from the effects of rough sleeping and move away from a street lifestyle permanently.

* It s not always an easy job, but the opportunity to work with different people every day, helping individuals experiencing homelessness and the local community end the harms of rough sleeping can be highly rewarding.
You will work on a weekly shift rota to ensure we are available to support people experiencing homelessness when they need us the most.
