Job description

Shelter from the Storm run an emergency night shelter that looks after 24 men and 12 women all year round. The Waking Night Project Worker is a key role in supporting our guests throughout the night. 

About the shelter:

The night shelter opens everyday at 6pm and closes each morning at 8am. We provide dorm style accommodation - two rooms which each have 12 mens beds and one room containing 12 womens beds. On site we provide: a home cooked dinner every evening, a counselling service, move-on support, ESOL classes, laundry, showers, clothing, computers, activities, a breakfast each morning and sandwiches to take away. We are a low-needs, low-risk homeless shelter so do not work with people suffering from acute mental health problems or people with active drug or alcohol dependencies.

Job Description:

To be on shift from 9pm until 7am alongside a volunteer to ensure the safe running of Shelter from the Storm. The volunteer position is a ‘sleep in’ role meaning that long parts of the shift will be lone-working. Therefore a satisfactory DBS check is essential.

The WNPW will provide first contact, safeguarding and support to Shelter clients and an essential link to staff working during the day.

The post-holder will be responsible for controlling access to the building, dealing with emergencies, carrying out Health and Safety checks and communicating any concerns or events to the rest of the on-site team and/or on-call staff.

The WNPW will be familiar with SFTS safeguarding policies and guest agreements, demonstrating a non-judgemental attitude and an understanding of the issues faced by a vulnerable client group who may be experiencing complex issues. They will communicate any concerns with staff and make interventions to support a safe environment for clients, volunteers and staff.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Providing waking night cover and being responsible for the safe running operation of the shelter.

  • To maintain the safety and security of guests and volunteers alike, as well as the building.

  • Be the first point of contact for guests during the night.

  • Admitting guests arriving late at night and addressing their needs.

  • To maintain a calm and relaxed environment during the shift.

  • To provide a link to day-shift and communicate any concerns or casework updates to and from staff appropriately.

  • To maintain a full and accurate log of events, report on incidents, record contact with clients and report any maintenance issues, attendance and food hygiene requirements on database.

  • To take immediate appropriate action in the event of an emergency.

  • Carry out stock checks in the kitchen.
