Job description

At Lancaster & District Homeless Action Service (LDHAS) our primary aim is to support homeless and vulnerably housed people into secure accommodation and provide assistance to maintain said accommodation, in addition to providing mental health, substance abuse, and advocacy support to ensure long-term quality of life and inclusion for our clients.

Providing a competitive starting salary of £18556.20 per annum for 22.5 hours per week, we are looking for an Engagement Officer (EO) to work alongside our two other Engagement Officers, who will triage and support clients and build a support package in liason with visiting professionals, volunteers, and staff of LDHAS in line with its aims and objectives. As a member of the LDHAS team you will be enrolled into the NEST pension scheme and will be entitled to 5.6 weeks annual leave (pro rata).

You  will ensure that good relations are maintained with the neighbours of LDHAS and with the local community, and that LDHAS clients in the immediate vicinity of the building are conducting themselves in an acceptable way. You will motivate and enable clients as they engage with LDHAS and liaise with a variety of homeless hub organisations as required.

You will manage footfall in the building ensuring that health and safety protocols and procedures are maintained throughout the building during the hours of opening and assist the other Engagement Officers with clothing, shower, and laundry facility management.

The successful applicant will have a communication style that motivates and enables people and will be able to maintain relationships and gain the cooperation of others. This requires the skills to motivate, negotiate, persuade and empathise. You will be working as part of a team of 6 staff, 2 to 3 volunteers per day, and regular visiting agency staff. The job will be based at our day centre at LDHAS, 2 Aalborg Place, Lancaster LA1 1BJ.
