HOMELESSNESS PROJECT WORKER - Please see Full job advert in advance of applying as certain criteria apply. Full time: 35 hrs/week (Monday – Friday 8am – 3.30pm) Salary: £28,600 – £30,600 per annum depending on experience. Permanent. St Petrock’s is a strongly values-led local charity, with our primary focus being to meet the urgent needs of people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. It is essential for everyone on our team to be fully committed to our Mission and Values, which guide all that we do. We are looking for a motivated, compassionate and dedicated individual to join our homelessness team, which provides essential survival support and advice to people who are rough sleeping and/or vulnerably housed. We welcome applications from those with lived experience of homelessness. The successful applicant will be committed to the mission and values of St Petrock’s. They will have significant experience of working with disadvantaged people who may exhibit challenging behaviour and will also understand the importance of confidentiality and discretion. They will be adaptable and flexible, capable of working both on their own initiative and enjoy the variety and challenge of working as part of a team within a busy charity. The role is based at the St Petrock’s Centre and includes our food outreach; this involves significant amounts of walking each day across multiple terrains, requiring a good level of mobility and fitness. Our work is informed by 7 Values which underpin not only what we do, but how we do it, and how we relate to one another. These are: • Respect: We believe that everyone is worthy of respect and dignity. • Compassion: We care about each individual and seek to meet them without prejudice. • Independence: By staying independent, we can always put those we help first. • Perseverance: We are here for the long haul, and will keep going for as long as the need exists. • Community: We long for those we support to feel fully part of the generous local community which supports our work. • Integrity: We commit to the highest standards of integrity and our values guide everything we do. • Accessibility: The people we help face multiple challenges, but accessing our services must not be one of them. As a small charity, consistent delivery of our services depends on the willingness of our staff team to work collaboratively and flexibly to meet the needs of our clients, to cover for absent colleagues, and generally to support one another to achieve our goals. The STP Homelessness Services Team provides an extensive range of services to assist rough sleepers by providing emergency survival and welfare support, individual intervention to address particular pressing needs, and structured activity with the aim of showing value to those at risk whilst also assisting them into more settled accommodation. The Team also extends support to vulnerably housed individuals who are at risk of losing their accommodation, both to provide support to reduce the likelihood of repeat rough sleeping, and to maintain the relationship in case the individual does return to rough sleeping.
