Fixed Term Contract/Full time/37.5 hours per week
About The Role
Are you looking for an opportunity where your skills will make a difference in helping to end homelessness and rebuild lives in Bristol?
This post is offered as fixed term contract for 12 months, or secondment for internal colleagues.
We have an exciting opportunity within the Bristol Street Outreach team as the Target Priority Group (TPG) Coordinator. The TPG is a cohort of clients with the most long-term and repeat periods of rough sleeping. 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.
In the TPG Coordinator role you will provide focused case coordination and management of this group, working creatively alongside partner agencies to provide clients with a viable long-term option of accommodation that will allow them to start their recovery from homelessness and journey to independence. You will:
* Oversee the case management of TPG Outreach Workers.
* Hold a small caseload of clients, delivering intensive casework to them.
* Build and maintain productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders including the Local Authority, other homeless services and housing providers.
* Raise the profile and awareness of the TPG to encourage a city-wide, multi-agency response to long-term and repeat rough sleeping.
* Support the Service Manager in collating information for reporting to demonstrate the themes and issues the team and clients face.
About you
This exciting role will suit someone with experience of communicating, liaising and negotiating with internal and external stakeholders. We encourage you to apply if you have the following skills and abilities:
* The ability to manage complex behaviours and motivate staff and clients to achieve outcomes with a creative and person-centred approach.
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to work with others whilst managing your own time.
* Inspirational, committed individuals who have a genuine desire to support people to rebuild their lives.
* A Full UK or equivalent driving license is required for this post.
* Flexibility is essential as you will be expected to work outside of your normal working hours when required, covering shifts that include early mornings, nights and weekends.
