Working with and supported by local partners, whilst accessing a range of funding streams, we aim to successfully deliver the 2025 Missions 25 (5 year) strategy to end / reduce homelessness and rough sleeping across the three counties.
Whilst part of a rapidly expanding staff team, currently with over 100 employees, we are recruiting to supported housing worker roles to operate within our young people services housing within the Hatfield area. Driving is essential for this role!
