About the Role
Are you passionate about creating positive change for people who are rough sleeping or spending time on the streets?
So are we.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to feel safe, supported and part of their community. Our outreach teams meet people where they are — building trust, listening without judgement, and connecting them with the right support to move forward.
As a Team Leader, you’ll play a pivotal role in leading and inspiring a skilled, multidisciplinary team to deliver person-centred outreach and engagement across the area. You’ll guide and motivate your team to provide responsive, compassionate support to individuals who are rough sleeping or vulnerably housed, helping them to access healthcare, treatment, accommodation and pathways to stability.
Together as a team, we are learning, developing, growing and identifying future talent and leaders to deliver our mission.
