Service users can also receive housing advice, use the building as a ‘care of’ address, receive support with benefits and bank accounts and general guidance and sign posting to other services based on their personal situation. Reporting to the Senior Rough Sleeping Hub Support Worker, you will be part of a small team which will staff the Hub, providing rough sleepers access to the facilities and services offered.
