ALL ABOUT THE ROLE

• To provide a holistic service to rough sleepers and those who have previously slept rough through assessment and referral and support to access appropriate services.
• To provide Housing & Homelessness advice to rough sleepers in an outreach setting, ensuring clients benefit from the same access to services as those accessing through traditional routes.
• To drive the council’s reduction of temporary accommodation expenditure by ensuring that all other avenues are explored, and customers are diverted away from its use.
• To support the collation of the data and information for the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government thereby assisting the government in its work to capture the true picture of homelessness and its impact on society.
• To work alongside the Rough Sleeper Outreach team in ensuring all rough sleepers have an offer to leave the streets and that this offer remains relevant.
