We are part of a partnership of social sector organisations (KBOP - Kirklees Better Outcomes Partnership) working to support people in our community who face an increased risk of homelessness as a result of their support needs.

The role includes:

Sitting down with people, finding out about their life journey and working together to make their goals a reality.
Being understanding and supportive when times are tough; you'll become that friendly face for someone to talk and listen to.
Having difficult conversations with the people you support; being open and honest about the challenges and putting a plan in place together about what to do next.
Working with people from different parts of the community, showing a passion and an interest in learning new things
Knowledge of the housing system and experience of working with people who may struggle with their mental wellbeing, substance use or staying out of prison.
Variety day to day where you will be able to plan your diary when needed and recognise what's important to the people you support.
Having a positive and enthusiastic attitude and a sense of curiosity and imagination.

If you feel the role is something that fits your experience, we look forward to hearing from you.
