You will lead liaison with public bodies on the duty to refer processes, provide guidance and establish pathways for individuals who may be at risk of homelessness.

We provide tailored training to develop your skills, whether you're new to the role or an experienced professional.

Is inclusive and kind, valuing the unique strengths of people from all backgrounds and fostering a supportive environment where everyone feels part of the team.
Is ambitious, bringing passion for delivering a high-quality service and continuously seeking ways to improve outcomes for our residents.

Is resilient, maintaining a positive attitude, effectively prioritising workload, and supporting their own wellbeing and that of colleagues.
Is adaptive, with an active interest in learning and development, experimenting with new ways of working, and anticipating new challenges to embrace change.
