Project Worker - Housing Advocacy and Support

We run a small night shelter provision and a day centre from two sites in Edmonton, Enfield. These services were set up to meet the needs of those rough sleeping and on the cusp of homelessness in the borough to provide daytime respite and independent housing related advocacy and support. Our night shelter service is a static, single occupancy provision managed by the council where we have up to 6 beds for our clients who, predominantly, have complex immigration issues and NRPF. Our day centre provision is open 3 days per week and provides respite, a light food offering, access to IT, laundry and shower facilities for clients to access.

We are seeking a skilled and empathetic person to join our team as a Project Worker. The role will involve undertaking assessments, conducting housing-related casework, providing advice and advocacy and supporting clients who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or rough sleeping to identify and address the underlying cause of their homelessness. We work in partnership with a number of key local agencies to ensure that our clients are able to access the services and support they need at the time they need it. The role is predominantly based out of the day centre with between 0.5 and 1 day per week based at the shelter to casework and support our clients there.
