About us

Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Crisis is committed to ensuring that people with lived experience of homelessness are involved in developing and delivering our services. 

About the role

The role sits within a new bespoke Critical Time Intervention (CTI) team working across Liverpool City Region, CTI is part of a housing-led response to ending homelessness. CTI is an evidence-based model, designed for times of transition for people who require support to navigate often fragmented systems. It uses a time limited case management approach to support people through a period of transition which works towards preventing and ending homelessness. 

The model is strictly time limited and prescriptive in its application and Crisis’ CTI pilot will run close to the CTI principles. The timing of movement through the phases is defined by the Program model.   

CTI consists of 4 main phases: 

I. Pre CTI: in which the relationship with the client is developed and their goals and ambitions are identified, (no timescale – could be days, months or years) 

II. Transition:  providing support & beginning to connect client to people and agencies that will assume the primary role of support and enable them to meet their goals (3 months)

III. Try out: monitoring and strengthening support network and client’s skills (3 months)

IV. Transfer of care: terminating CTI and stepping right back (3 months)

The post holder will be working within the framework of CTI, supporting prison leavers into accommodation and preventing homelessness on release from custody. 

In the short term, the roles will support the current housing challenge, moving individuals from hotel accommodation into their own accommodation.
