Op FORTITUDE is the newly established pathway to end veteran rough sleeping in the UK.

The Op FORTITUDE Pathway Team will play a central role in achieving this by creating the links between the veterans at risk of or experiencing homelessness and the organisations that can provide them the support they need.

The difference you'll make

In this role you will make a significant difference to the lives of veterans affected by homelessness on a daily basis.

For some veterans, especially those sleeping rough, veteran supported housing can help them develop the skills they need to go on to live independently.

Your role will be to develop relationships with the providers of veteran supported housing, understand the needs of and work with the veterans referred to us, and linking the veteran with the service best able to meet their needs.

So, who are you?

If you want to make a positive impact on the lives of veterans - we want to hear from you.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team that will make a significant and meaningful difference to the lives of veterans in the UK.

While desirable, being a member of the Armed Forces Community is not essential.

So, if you have a passion for the mission, the ability to create excellent working relationships, and an understanding of the causes and solutions to homelessness, then you could be ideal for this role.

Enjoy the rewards

Working with us, you'll enjoy competitive pay, 28 days holidays plus bank holidays, a wide range of benefits, flexible working, and the chance to learn valuable new skills.

We empower our people to do great work by investing in learning, personal development, and technology.

If you're the kind of person that wants to do a really great job and make a difference to our customers, we think you'll love it here.

Sound like a challenge you'd like to take on? Then get in touch and let's talk about how you can help us transform lives and revitalise neighbourhoods.

We encourage applicants from all sections of the community so that we can truly reflect the neighbourhoods in which we work.
