Housing & Move-On Coordinator

Hosting is wonderful, but only ever temporary.  We're looking for an experienced, knowledgeable person to support our hosted guests to move on from their hosting placements. 

You'll combine your compassion, organisational skills and expertise to work with our guests as they take their next steps in finding a safe home and rebuilding their lives after exploitation. 

Hope at Home operates a hosting scheme for survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking in the UK.  We train and support hosts to welcome a survivor facing homelessness into their homes for an agreed time period.

We believe no survivor of slavery should ever have to sleep on the streets. 

We are looking for a highly organised, self-motivated person with demonstrable experience of helping people find accommodation to join our team and assist our guests directly to move on from hosting.  This is a brand new, but vital role as we are only able to continue hosting if guests are provided with ways to move on from their temporary hosting placements.  As advice services, housing and support providers are increasingly overwhelmed, we plan to offer our own support for our guests.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

·       Build a relationship via phone, email and online calls with hosted guests to help them progress their move on options.  You will sometimes use an interpreter for these calls.

·       Advising guests of their rights to statutory or private rented accommodation.

·       Working with guests to apply to housing providers, asylum or MSVCC accommodation when entitled.

·       Signposting to other sources of support for guests.

·       Ensure Hosting Coordinators and external guest support workers are fully informed of interactions and plans.

·       Collaborative Working with housing providers, external support providers, guests and the Hope at Home hosting team.
