We are seeking a  compassionate, dedicated individual to join the Homelessness Team in our values-led charity.Please note that for safeguarding reasons, we have an occupational requirement for this post-holder to be male.

Our Charity:  St Petrock’s is a strongly values-led local charity, with our primary focus being to meet the urgent needs of people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. It is essential for everyone on our team to be fully committed to our Mission and Values, which guide all that we do.

The Role:  We are looking for a motivated, compassionate and dedicated individual to join our homelessness team, which provides essential survival support and advice to people who are rough sleeping and/or vulnerably housed. We welcome applications from those with lived experience of homelessness.

The successful applicant will be committed to the mission and values of St Petrock’s. They will have significant experience of working with disadvantaged people who may exhibit challenging behaviour and will also understand the importance of confidentiality and discretion. They will be adaptable and flexible, capable of working both on their own initiative and enjoy the variety and challenge of working as part of a team within a busy charity.

The role is based at the St Petrock’s Centre and includes our food outreach. This involves significant amounts of walking each day across multiple terrains, requiring a good level of mobility and fitness.

To apply, please include your CV,  and full cover letter as per instructions in the Job Pack.  We will also ask you to complete a Disclosure Form via email in line with our safeguarding requirements.

There is no fixed closing date. We are looking to appoint as soon as possible.

Important Information:  Please note only male candidates will be considered for this post. Many of our clients are highly vulnerable and have experienced trauma, meaning they often make disclosures of a very personal and sensitive nature.  Given that around 80% of those we support are male, it is therefore essential that the team includes at least one male Project Worker in order to enable this support to be delivered safely, to avoid re-traumatisation and to ensure good safeguarding practice.  Therefore, in accordance with the Equality Act 2010, St Petrock’s will have an Occupational Requirement for this post to be filled by someone who is male.


St Petrock’s is fully committed to safeguarding the welfare of vulnerable adults and children. We use “safer recruitment” practices throughout our recruitment processes, and all successful candidates will be subject to the highest level of DBS check that is legally permissible for their role. Any offer of employment is subject to a satisfactory DBS check.
