Permanent
Full Time (2 week rota - 1 week early shifts then 1 week late shifts. Monday-Friday)
Bournemouth Housing First supports people who are homelessness across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch.

This is a new service that starts in June, so this is an exciting opportunity to be part of the set up and implementation of this team.

We have a new and exciting opportunity for a Team Leader to join us to manage a team of recovery and night workers which deliver Housing First services to people who are homelessness and rough sleeping who have multiple and complex challenges.

The successful candidates will enjoy supporting others and helping them to progress and achieve their goals.
