Housing Assistant (Days) - Women's Service

Housing Assistant (Days) - Women's Service

We provide two specialist housing support services for women experiencing homelessness, both offering safe accommodation, personalised individual support, and 24-hour staffing.

One service supports women with more complex needs, including those experiencing entrenched rough sleeping and severe multiple disadvantage. It provides intensive, high-level support within single-occupancy accommodation with shared communal facilities. The second service supports women experiencing homelessness who require medium to high levels of support tailored to their individual circumstances.

Residents receive ongoing assistance to help them address the challenges contributing to their homelessness and work towards greater independence. Both services are staffed 24 hours a day, ensuring women have access to support and accommodation whenever it is needed.

Contract: Part time, 20hrs a week. Hours vary across a rolling rota and may include weekends.
