You will be the sort of person who sees people experiencing rough sleeping or sofa surfing as a person, not just as ‘rough sleepers’ or ‘service users’.

You will be able to inspire, motivate, and encourage others enabling them to grow and develop in their roles. You will be able to respond flexibly, confidently and professionally to any challenges which arise.
