Job Details

Prospectus is excited to be collaborating with a leading homeless charity that strives to be inclusive. Actively working across all aspects of society, they seek to influence and act as an advocate for homeless people across London. They are currently looking to recruit a temporary Outreach Caseworker to join their dedicated Outreach team in Westminster. This assignment is for a duration of four to six weeks.

As their Outreach Caseworker, you will support a team of Project Workers to provide Street Outreach services across Westminster to prevent rough sleeping; providing support to those clients living on the streets as well as helping to support clients to sustain accommodation and health treatment. As part of The Compass Team, you will work in partnership with another leading homeless provider to support individuals with long term and complex needs with the aim of moving client sustainably off the street through building and maintaining working relationships with agencies and individuals who can aid clients in their move off the streets and build networks to maintain their recovery.

To be successful, you will have demonstrable experience of delivering successful and beneficial outcomes to vulnerable and hard to reach groups in a holistic and psychologically informed way. With previous experience of supporting a caseload of clients, you will have the ability to conduct thorough assessments of people's needs, entitlements and aspirations as well as provide a person centred service to individuals who present complex needs. Experience of identifying suitable pathways is essential, as is the knowledge and understanding of the support needs of the street population with complex health, and housing needs.

To be considered, you must be available immediately and be in possession of a fully enhanced DBS check that is registered to the online update service.
