Homeless Outreach Officer- Asylum​/Resettlement; Sussex

A fantastic opportunity has emerged for a Homeless Prevention Outreach Officer to join our public sector client's Asylum Support & Resettlement team in a temporary placement, initially for three months (but with every possibility of being extended should the successful candidate perform well). Our client is based in Mid Sussex.

Working 37 hours each week (Monday to Friday), this post is hybrid working (2 days per week in their Haywards Heath office or at the Contingency Hotel in Crawley). Free staff parking is available, and experience of Home Connections is desirable.

Main responsibilities of the role include:

• Assessing clients at the hotel obtaining relevant documentation
• Identifying the most appropriate pathways, facilitating referrals and move on

• Identifying support needs and liaising with partner agencies to meet these needs

• Supporting with resettlement into permanent accommodation

• Delivering monthly workshops at the hotel.

Please note, a car driver/owner would be desirable but is not essential providing you are happy to get around the borough by public transport when required.

Only applicants who feel they meet the above criteria need apply for this post.
