Sustainable Housing Support Officer
We are looking for a dedicated and proactive Sustainable Housing Support Officer to join our Street Homelessness Service and play a key role in tackling rough sleeping. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an ambitious, outcome-driven team committed to ending homelessness through early intervention, sustainable housing solutions, and specialist support.
The role will focus on helping individuals transition into long-term, stable accommodation, particularly in the private rented sector. You will work closely with those at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness, ensuring they have access to the support, guidance, and resources needed to secure and maintain a home. This will include liaising with landlords, negotiating tenancies, and providing tailored advice on welfare, benefits, and independent living.
We are looking for someone with experience in the homelessness sector, strong communication and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment. A knowledge of housing legislation, welfare systems, and homelessness prevention strategies will be essential. Flexibility is key, as occasional work outside of standard office hours may be required.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an innovative and inspiring service, making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable individuals while contributing to the goal of ending rough sleeping.
