• 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.
