* A caring and empathetic nature, with a resilient, can-do attitude, and the ability to work well in a team
* An understanding of supporting vulnerable individuals, which may include having personal lived experience of homelessness or substance addiction
* Flexibility to work hours that meet customer and business needs, which may include lone working and non-standard hours
