Overview of the Role
I am looking for a part-time Homeless Outreach Worker to support service users that are out on the streets, sofa surfing, or rough sleeping. You will work with those vulnerable people who may have recently moved into permanent accommodation, may be in temporary accommodation, or could still be sleeping rough. You will provide intensive, wrap-around support to address their accommodation needs as well as any other areas due to their complex, entrenched nature. You will build trust and support service users to navigate through pathways and progress towards a life away from the streets and homelessness. You will be a great communicator, building strong relationships with external agencies to reduce the number of people returning to the streets and supporting them to access relevant services to address their needs.
Key Responsibilities
1. Out in the community
2. Promote independence
3. Encourage positivity and healthy lifestyles
4. Deal with cases of complex needs, drug and alcohol abuse & mental health
5. Work alongside a range of other companies in order to support individuals
YOUR Journey With Brook Street Social Care
1st Stage - Shortlisting & Pre-Screening
In this stage, I will personally review your CV and invite you for a telephone conversation, where we will discuss your right to work, work history, suitability for the role, and any questions you may have.
2nd Stage - Compliance
In this stage, our compliance team will reach out to you to ensure the necessary checks are made, to ensure you are safe and ready to start. This will include a DBS and reference check, and proof of right to work. Your start date and employment will depend on those listed.
3rd Stage - Formal Interview
In some cases, hiring managers will still want to conduct a formal interview to see if you would fit into their team, and for you to see if you would want to work in theirs.
4th Stage - Starting
Should you be successful in your interview, or able to start one without an interview, you will be provided with your assignment details, including location, date, time, pay, and duties & responsibilities. The following day, your consultant will reach out to you to discuss how your first shift went, and if you would like to continue.
