Are you passionate about supporting people facing some of life's biggest challenges? Do you believe everyone deserves the opportunity to recover, rebuild and thrive?

As an Outreach Worker, you'll be a vital first point of contact for people who are often excluded from traditional services, including rough sleepers, people with complex needs and those experiencing physical health challenges.

Completing holistic assessments and developing personalised care plans.

Supporting people into treatment and ongoing recovery.

Advocating on behalf of service users with housing, healthcare, social care, benefits and other local services.
