Rough Sleeper Outreach Worker

Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable people? A local authority in Northamptonshire is seeking a dedicated Street Outreach Worker to join its team, delivering vital support to individuals experiencing rough sleeping.

In this dynamic, hands-on role, you will lead an intelligence-led and responsive street outreach service, targeting known hotspots and identifying new rough sleepers to ensure timely intervention, assessment, and access to accommodation. You will provide intensive, person-centred support, carrying out crisis interventions where needed and coordinating with a wide range of services including Emergency Services, Adult Social Care, Housing Options, health partners, and community organisations.

You will complete comprehensive risk assessments and develop tailored support plans, helping individuals improve their wellbeing, address complex needs, and build essential independent living skills. Working collaboratively with multiple agencies, you will play a crucial role in safeguarding vulnerable adults, participating in multi-agency case conferences, and ensuring planned pathways from institutions such as hospitals and prisons.

Accuracy and professionalism are key, as you will keep detailed case records and contribute to essential activities such as the annual rough sleeper count and SWEP provision.

This role is office-based, and a full driving licence with access to your own vehicle for work purposes is essential.
