• 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.
