Building relationships is at the heart of what our client does. So it’s no surprise they’re so passionate about their people. After all, they’re just as passionate about the communities they serve.
They are committed to becoming one of the most efficient providers of affordable housing and community investment services. And while they exist to put customers first, create opportunity and enthuse their customers, they also strive to create an ambitious, inclusive place to work, where they recognise that every single one of their staff makes a difference.
Your role will require good record keeping skills and the ability to participate in and promote multi-agency working, including joint outreach with partner agencies, including substance misuse agencies, police, fire service and the local authority.
Your role entails seeking out and actively engaging with rough sleepers and people at risk of sleeping rough. You will provide support and assistance to individuals to enable them to secure suitable accommodation and meet their immediate needs. You will assist in enabling customers to gain and maintain sustained independent living and fully participate within their community.
Therefore if you have the ability to use your own initiative, then they would like to hear from you. In return, they offer a generous reward package and opportunities for development.
The ability to drive is preferred for this role.
Closing Date: 11 September 2016
