Homeless Early Intervention officers will deliver assertive and proactive advice and support to promote a pre-prevention approach to mitigate the risk of households from becoming homeless across Wiltshire.

Officers will provide a comprehensive advisory and support service to households who are at high risk of becoming threatened with homelessness, to empower them to develop the skills required to become resilient and independent in the community.

The Officers will be required to build and maintain positive relationships with a wide range of partners in both the voluntary and statutory sectors to effectively focus their interventions to the hardest to reach communities, and those households at the highest risk of becoming homeless across the Wiltshire area.

Early Intervention Officers will be required to participate in housing drop ins across different sites within the community to promote an accessible service.

This may include environments such as hospitals and community drop ins.

It is integral for the role to be confident in their negotiation and mediation skills as they will be leading on a mediation intervention, trying to rebuild strained relationships between customers and their friends/relatives so they are able to remain in their home.

This will require the officer to adopt trauma informed practice.

Jobs are provided by the Find a Job Service from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
