Do you believe everyone should have a place to call home and the chance to lead a fulfilling life?
HARP is Southend-on-Sea s leading homelessness charity. On average, we help around 1,000 local people every year to overcome or avoid homelessness. In addition to providing essential short-term emergency shelter, food, clothing and washing facilities, we work to identify the root causes of homelessness, creating tailored support for each person s circumstances. We achieve success by providing structure, purpose and training opportunities, and by providing longer-term supported housing, empowering people to take steps to leave homelessness behind and ultimately to live independently in the community.
As a charitable registered provider of short-term social housing operating in Southend-on-Sea, we believe everyone should have a home of their own. At times individuals may require support from HARP and other agencies to maintain a tenancy and avoid a return to homelessness.
We currently manage 236 bed spaces in our emergency and short-term accommodation, employ over 100 full and part time staff, and supported by a number of volunteers.
Are you a motivated and passionate individual looking to make a real difference in your local community? Are you also available at the weekends on a rota basis to put your skills to good use helping others less fortunate? If so, we would love you to join our housing management team as a Housing Project Worker.

•The demonstrable ability to work within a highly effective, person centred accommodation service for residents, some with complex needs.
•Experience of holistic assessment of need, support and risk, and multi-agency casework planning.
• Organised, adaptable, and an excellent communicator,
•Enthusiastic about working in a psychologically informed environment, and creative in your approach to service delivery.
•Resilient in, and motivated by, a constantly changing and busy environment.
•A good understanding of the regulatory and financial environment within which accommodation based support operates is essential.
