Salary: £16,682

We’re now looking for a Housing First Worker to join our team in Tower Hamlets on a part-time, permanent basis.

We are SPEAR, a charity dedicated to helping homeless people across six London boroughs to find secure accommodation and work towards a positive future. For over 35 years, we’ve worked tirelessly to support homeless people to recover from their personal issues and break down the barriers that they face. We recognise that homelessness is much more than just a housing issue, so we provide a range of accommodation and support services to help people reach their full potential.

This is a superb opportunity for an individual with drive, focus and a desire to work within our outstanding charity to help us combat homelessness.

You’ll discover a passionate, supportive environment where the entire team are working toward the same goals and are dedicated to making positive change and producing great results.

The Role

In this crucial role, your focus will be on the service delivery of SPEAR’s Housing First model. You will work with staff and management teams to deliver this innovative model of housing society’s most vulnerable people, and you will help us drive forward a collective vision of inclusion and participation across the organisation. Housing First is a SPEAR service that provides independent tenancies with registered social landlords via the council nomination process and intensive personalised support to rough sleepers who have not progressed through any supported accommodation pathway.

About You

You’ll have a broad range of frontline experience; you will have experience of working with people who present complex and sometimes challenging behaviours. You will have experience of working with processes and systems to achieve continuous improvement across your service remit. You’ll have a track record of multi-disciplinary working, case management, risk assessing, data recording, and safeguarding. The ability to build positive and rewarding relationships and influence is essential to this role.

At SPEAR, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone, regardless of age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. We are facing diverse problems, so we need diverse people to tackle them.
