Job description

Join our Street Outreach Response Team and become a catalyst for positive change in people's lives! We're on the lookout for individuals who are passionate, driven, and innovative, to assist those who are sleeping rough across the borough of Redbridge.

This is a pivotal role where you'll be on the frontline, making tangible differences in the lives of those facing multiple disadvantages.

About the role:

As Senior Outreach Worker, you'll make use of your strong interpersonal skills to connect with individuals from all walks of life. Building trust, assessing needs, and generating creative ideas to steer people away from rough sleeping will be the focus of your role.

Collaboration is key in our team. You'll work together with specialist Navigators, Outreach workers, substance use outreach services, and mental health outreach teams. Plus, you'll be pivotal in forging strong relationships with a range of housing providers in the borough.

To thrive in this role, you'll have knowledge and experience in substance use and recovery, trauma informed practices of working, and the complexities of the homelessness sector.

Your commitment to flexibility will be crucial in providing the support, empowerment, and opportunities needed to guide individuals toward suitable and stable accommodation.


About you:

  • You will demonstrate a strong understanding of planned support principles and the ability to assess the needs of those who may be reluctant to engage with services.
  • You will know the various barriers faced by people who are sleeping rough and what services are available for those facing multiple disadvantages.
  • You will be self-motivating, able to work under pressure, manage your schedule effectively, and able to work flexibly Monday to Friday, at times when rough sleepers are often seen bedded down.
  • You will be able and willing to travel across the borough of Redbridge at times when public transport may not be readily available.
  • You will have experience of working with clients who have faced multiple disadvantages
  • You will be skilled at engaging external partners and agencies to ensure streamlined working and a collaborative approach to supporting rough sleepers
