Job description

Are you passionate about making a lasting difference to the lives of vulnerable adults?

We are looking for a dedicated and proactive Reconnection Worker to join our Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Rough Sleeping Service. This is an exciting opportunity to support people sleeping rough to move away from homelessness by reconnecting them with accommodation, support networks and services in areas where they have a local connection, established support system or entitlement to assistance. Reconnection can take place both within the UK and internationally and aims to ensure that individuals can access the right support in the right place to sustain a move away from rough sleeping.

Working as part of a dynamic and highly successful outreach team, you will build positive relationships with people experiencing homelessness, carrying out assessments and developing personalised reconnection plans. You will work closely with local authorities, support providers, health services and community organisations to help individuals access accommodation, reconnect with family and support networks where appropriate and secure sustainable routes away from rough sleeping and a harmful street lifestyle.

In this role you will:

  • Undertake assertive outreach across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, engaging with people sleeping rough and carrying out comprehensive assessments.
  • Develop and coordinate personalised reconnection plans, including arranging accommodation, travel, family mediation and access to support services.
  • Work closely with local authorities, statutory services, health providers and community organisations to achieve positive outcomes for clients.
  • Manage a caseload of clients, maintaining accurate records and monitoring progress towards sustainable reconnection.
  • Support clients to access welfare benefits, healthcare, substance misuse services and other support that will assist them in moving away from homelessness.

This role involves working early mornings, evenings and weekends as part of a rota.

About you

We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting people experiencing homelessness and who can build trusting relationships whilst maintaining a supportive but assertive approach.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • Experience of working with vulnerable adults and an understanding of the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness.
  • Experience of assessing individual needs and supporting people through case management and support planning.
  • Excellent communication and partnership-working skills, with the ability to engage effectively with clients and external agencies.
  • An understanding of welfare benefits, housing options and support services available to people experiencing homelessness.
  • Good organisational and IT skills, with the ability to maintain accurate records and manage competing priorities.

Above all, we are looking for a compassionate, resilient and motivated individual who is committed to helping people transform their lives.

St Mungo's are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from all under-represented groups.
