Are you interested in supporting people at immediate risk of rough sleeping and making a real difference to the lives of people experiencing homelessness in London?

Rough sleeping data shows that migrants make up more than 50% of the people rough sleeping in London. The MAPS service provides a rapid intervention to support clients who are migrants and rough sleeping in London to find a route into accommodation that is suitable and sustainable in the UK or elsewhere in the world. We are looking for someone to join our team as an Assessment and Reconnection Worker where you will:

• Provide rapid holistic assessments with migrants who are rough sleeping across London, helping to clarify entitlements and identify routes off the streets.
• Work with clients to produce person-centred, rights-based actions plans that meet their needs and resolve their rough sleeping in the UK or elsewhere in the world.
• Work closely with external agencies to ensure all clients’ needs are met. Many of our clients have multiple support needs. This may include experience of navigating the immigration and asylum systems, complex trauma, substance misuse and mental and physical health support needs.
• Advise and support other professionals working with migrants on options to resolve their clients’ homelessness.
• While your usual working hours will be from Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm, occasional work during early or late hours may occur in response to challenging situations and to prevent rough sleeping.

About you

We are a small team so try to maximise our resources and find creative solutions to resolve people’s homelessness. Due to the legislative context in which we work, accommodation options are often limited for our client group, and so we are looking for someone who can be flexible, proactive and is passionate about working migrants.

Ideally you would have experience of working with vulnerable people and an understanding of the needs and support requirements of this client group, particularly non-UK nationals.

We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have lived experience of migration and/or speak additional languages to English.

We’d always like to hear from people who want to help transform lives. Not sure if you have the skills and experience you need for the role? Apply and we’ll let you know!

St Mungo's are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from all under-represented groups.
