Jobs in Hemel hempstead

About the role:

As a Navigator across Camden and Islington, you will work alongside people who are rough sleeping and facing multiple disadvantage, offering consistent, psychologically informed support from first contact through to longer term stability. This is a role for someone who wants to be out in the community, building real relationships and making change happen where it matters most. You will hold a small caseload, giving you the space to do this work properly, staying alongside each person as they move through crisis, into accommodation, and towards a life that feels safer, more independent and more their own.

No two days will look the same. You might be meeting someone on the streets to start building trust, advocating with partners to unlock housing options, or working through the practical and emotional barriers that can make moving forward feel out of reach. You will take a holistic approach, drawing on your understanding of trauma, mental health, substance use and domestic abuse to shape support that is responsive, creative and genuinely centred around the individual. This is a role where persistence matters, where small steps count, and where your ability to adapt and think differently can open up new pathways for clients.

You will be part of a wider, well connected network across Camden and Islington, working closely with local services and partners to coordinate support and create opportunities that would not be possible in isolation. With the autonomy to manage your own time and work flexibly across the boroughs, this role offers the chance to grow your practice, deepen your skills and be part of a service that is focused on doing things differently to end rough sleeping for good.

About you:

• You bring experience of working with people who are rough sleeping or facing multiple disadvantage, with a strong understanding of mental health, substance use and domestic abuse, and how these can present in a street-based context.
• You work in a genuinely person-centred, trauma informed way, using harm minimisation and a strengths based approach to build trust, manage a caseload and support people to achieve meaningful, lasting outcomes.
• You are resilient, creative and adaptable, able to engage people who can be hard to reach and think differently when progress feels slow, staying consistent and committed to each client’s journey.
• You are confident working alongside others, building strong relationships with services across health and social care, leading and contributing to multi agency working, managing risk effectively and keeping clear, accurate records.
