Fixed Term Contract/Full time/37.5 hours per week
About The Role
Do you want to work in a role where you can support people to rebuild their lives?
This is a fixed term opportunity ending 31 March 2026.
The Southwark SPOT Team are looking for a committed individual who wants to work within a street outreach team tasked with reducing rough sleeping in Southwark.
This role is challenging and rewarding, for both an experienced worker who wants the autonomy and flexibility to find creative solutions or as a development role for a worker that wants to learn outreach skills and is keen to work with clients at a point where their need is acute.
You will be expected to work with clients in a variety of settings and being a rough sleeper team will require the ability to do some shifts starting at 6am and others finishing at 2am.
In this role you will:
* Conduct outreach alongside a range of partners and proactively assess those found to rapidly access housing, health services and treatment.
* Manage a caseload of clients suffering multiple disadvantages where there are significant barriers to rapidly accessing accommodation and services requiring relationship building and a thoughtful approach to making incremental change.
* Have an opportunity to work with a truly diverse group of clients and needs, assisting them to meaningfully change their lives for the better
* For this role staff can claim an additional 20% pay premium for hours worked between 8pm and 8am Monday to Friday, and all hours worked on Saturday and Sunday.
About you
The successful candidate will be a strong good communicator who can engage with clients in a range of settings. They will also be adaptable to challenges relating to communication, be it language barriers, cultural differences or working with those who are neuro-diverse. This includes the ability to convey concepts to people in a simple way that can be easily understood.
In addition, the successful candidate will have some experience of client case management and the resilience to achieve and meet agreed outcomes paired with the ability to work remotely and lone work with vulnerable people.
There’s a car available to use on shifts, holding a UK driving licence would be beneficial but isn’t essential for this role.
St Mungo's are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from all under-represented groups.
