At St Mungo's our ambition is to end homelessness and we are working hard to reverse the increase in people sleeping rough in England. In the areas where we work, we aim to halve the number of people sleeping rough by 2021.
To support this ambition we are expanding our services to people sleeping rough, across the South East/West of England. Furthermore, the government announced in 2018 additional funding to boost the immediate support available to people living on the streets. We have received some of that funding and as a result, we have more job opportunities to work with St Mungo’s and make a difference in support of people who are street homeless.
The Role
We are currently looking for an Outreach Coordinator to join our Outreach service in Oxford City. The Oxford SPOT work across Oxford delivering shifts on the streets, drop-ins at local day centres, and working with accommodation providers and the local authority, to reduce rough sleeping to as close to zero as possible.
Alongside the Outreach Manager, you will be involved in managing a team of Outreach Workers, liaising with key services – including police and the local authorities and services throughout the city, UK and Europe. The role will also involve working on housing, health, treatment and immigration issues with some of Oxford’s most vulnerable individuals
To succeed, you will have demonstrable experience of engaging and assessing clients on the streets and other devolved locations and of delivering a case management approach with homeless people and clients who are rough sleeping or vulnerably housed.
About You
A good working knowledge of the housing, health and social services legislation and services for vulnerable people is also required. As is the ability to initiate and maintain effective working relationships with colleagues, clients, communities and external stakeholders and agencies.
Flexibility is required as you will be working outreach shifts at unsocial hours. Applicants will also have a driving licence and access to a car.
If you think you fit the brief and can see yourself helping us to achieve this aim, then please apply. We are also holding an Open Evening to give you an opportunity to learn more about us, our staff and the different roles on offer, as well as ask us questions.
The Open Evening will take place on: Wednesday 10th April, 6pm – 8pm. If you would like to attend, please email Recruitment @mungos.org for further details.
