Description

Are you looking to work flexibly at the times that you choose, in a variety of roles where you can make a real difference helping homeless people to rebuild their lives?

At St Mungo's we have a locum bank of approximately 320 casual workers who provide temporary cover, ensuring our services can continue to run smoothly when there are staffing gaps.

We are looking for people who would be interested in joining our locum bank to work across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area.

St Mungo's runs a street outreach service and a number of supported accommodation projects in the region and our aim is to support people who may be affected by homelessness to recover from the effects of rough sleeping and move away from a street lifestyle permanently by providing them long term support.

Depending on your skills, expertise and preferences, you may be covering Outreach Worker shifts, where you engage with people who are on the streets sleeping rough, or Support Worker shifts in our accommodation services - this may be day or night.

What we're looking for

These important roles will suit people with:

Some experience of helping vulnerable people to identify personal goals and supporting them through a process of change.
An understanding of the issues faced by homeless or vulnerable people and the difficulties they experience in accessing services.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with a wide range of people and deal with those who may be in a difficult personal or emotional situation.

Above all we are looking for inspirational, committed individuals who have a genuine desire to support people to rebuild their lives.

What we can offer you

As a casual locum worker you work flexibly, on an ad hoc or temporary basis and can chose to work the shifts that best fit your circumstances - this can be day or night and covering different level roles, depending on your experience.

In order to provide you with ongoing support you will be allocated a supervising manager and you will have access to training to ensure you have the tools to keep our clients safe.

We offer enhanced pay for bank holidays and you can also accrue holiday pay.

Assistant Support Worker: £10.90 ph
