Our Housing Solutions Service offers advice and support to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We help customers respond proactively to their housing situation and find suitable, affordable accommodation.

Many of our customers are facing financial hardship or have experienced trauma.

You will provide expert advice and coach staff, ensuring they work proactively to prevent or relieve homelessness in a customer-centred way.
