About Us

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships (BOP) is a not-for-profit social enterprise that works alongside Government, community groups and specialist Delivery partners to design and deliver vital services that support people to improve their lives, in areas ranging from housing and employment to education and health & wellbeing.

The role of BOP spans project development (working with Government and others to design and launch the service), project management (coordinating the delivery phase, managing performance, and liaising with the various stakeholders) and project finance (funding the project until it starts to earn outcomes payments).

About the opportunity

As a cross-team housing caseworker, you will work alongside individuals who are at risk of homelessness, often during times of heightened stress and uncertainty.

You’ll work across our network of charity partners, bringing vital capacity and support to local teams during times of increased demand or staff shortages. Your flexible, compassionate presence ensures that people continue to receive timely, high-quality support, no matter where they first reach out.

This role is fundamentally about partnership: with the people you support, the services you collaborate with, and the teams you join.

• Maintain a strong understanding of local resources across housing, welfare, employment, and wellbeing.

• Connect people with the right services at the right time, advocating where needed to remove barriers to access.

• Help individuals build the skills and confidence to engage with public services independently.

4. Working Across Charity Partners

• Be deployed across different partner organisations within our charity network, responding to local pressures and adapting quickly to diverse environments.

• Provide short- to medium-term casework that enhances existing team capacity and ensures continuity of support for people at risk of homelessness.

• Maintain high standards of person-centred support regardless of setting or location.

5. Information Sharing and Case Recording

• Keep accurate and respectful records of client engagement, plans, and outcomes using agreed systems.

• Follow all data protection and confidentiality protocols, contributing to a culture of trust and transparency.

• Share insights that support continuous service improvement and learning across partners.

6. Collaboration and Partnership Working

• Work constructively with colleagues from across public, voluntary, and community sectors to coordinate holistic support.

• Represent the service positively, contributing to shared efforts in preventing and relieving homelessness.

• Communicate openly and clearly with internal teams and external partners to align support and improve outcomes.

7. Promoting Inclusion and Long-Term Independence

• Support individuals to build resilience and reduce isolation through access to meaningful activities, networks, and learning opportunities.

• Champion inclusive, strength-based approaches that support people to regain control and plan for a more secure future.

8. Safety and Wellbeing

• Adhere to all organisational health and safety procedures, taking personal responsibility for your own safety and that of others.

• Apply safeguarding principles and respond appropriately to risk and concern in community settings.
