If you want to see an end to rough sleeping in Bradford and see transformed lives amongst some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people in our city then we want to hear from amazing people like you!
We have an exciting opportunity for a Housing Support Worker to join our dynamic team at Hope Housing to work full time initially on a 1 year fixed term, with the potential to extend further.
The role of a Housing Support Worker…
The Housing Support Worker, will manage and provide support for clients in our supported tenancies to help maintain their accommodation and help transform lives. You will provide outreach support to homeless individuals and support them in a pathway out of homelessness, connecting clients with social support within the wider community as well as supporting them with accessing the internet, recovery groups, walking groups, and other local activities. As a member of the team, you will contribute to fulfilling Hope Housing’s vision for the eradication of homelessness in Bradford.
Who are we?
Established in 2008, Hope Housing is a registered Christian charity working with people experiencing homelessness in Bradford. Our aim is to end rough sleeping in Bradford by eradicating homelessness through the provision of a range of services including crisis management, advice and advocacy and supported housing.
Hope Housing currently has 56 supported bed places in 40 properties across the city and we are actively looking to expand our portfolio. We are connected into a wide range of working partnerships with statutory and voluntary services and churches to deliver a range of person centred services in the city.
We know that we cannot solve homelessness by ourselves; our key principles are to work with others and focus our work on filling gaps in homeless provision so that in Bradford no one will be left out. All our support is tailored to each individual and enables even the most disadvantaged people to access housing, financial and practical help through a person-centred, individualised approach.
What drives us?
At our core we aim to reduce homelessness in such ways as may be thought fit within the context of Christian values and practice, based on the biblical mandate to love our neighbour as ourselves. We believe it is a great privilege to help people experiencing homelessness by providing hope where they often feel there is no hope.
