Rough Sleeper/Homeless Outreach Worker

About the role...

We have an exciting and varied role available as a Rough Sleeper/Homeless Outreach Worker who will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team within Likewise! This role will provide outreach to people who use substances and present as homeless, whilst working in partnership with a variety of agencies to support people into treatment and accommodation.

The role will ensure that we are able to provide specialist, tailored support to enable service users to overcome barriers and make positive changes. The role will require you to utilise resources to be able to reach and engage those most marginalised within the community.
  • You will have an empathic approach to working with individuals and a great understanding of the needs and barriers of the client group.
  • You will take a client centred approach, ensuring that every client's package of care encompasses all areas of their well-being, not just their substance use, to achieve the best possible outcomes for every person.
  • You will ensure that clients are supported to appointments, are building recovery capital and are aware of the support services across the city whilst working in a multi-disciplinary team to co-ordinate care and end the homelessness cycle

Who are we...

Waythrough launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Our vision is to break down the barriers that stop people getting the support they need to live a life they value. We tackle poverty and disadvantage in communities, through mental health, drug and alcohol, housing and related support.

We have almost 200 services around England - and nearly 3,500 amazing staff and volunteers who run them. Every year our services support around 125,000 people.

Bringing together two big organisations is not a small task and it'll take a while to fully integrate our systems, processes and approaches. That's why you will notice the jobs here are still branded 'Humankind'. Next year we'll be fully integrating our recruitment systems but for now they are separate.

Thanks for bearing with us - and don't forget to check out the Waythrough jobs on the Richmond Fellowship and Aquarius job site https://recoveryfocus.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/Recovery_Focus_Careers.
