About The Role

Do you want to work in a role where you can support people to rebuild their lives?

Westminster Atlas provides comprehensive, intensive support to people experiencing street homelessness and multiple disadvantage across Westminster. Using an assertive and persistent outreach approach, the team maintains frequent contact with clients to support them into accommodation, improve their wellbeing, and sustain positive outcomes.

Safety Net is a rapid-response service designed to support individuals with a history of rough sleeping who have previously exited homelessness services but are now facing difficulties that threaten their safety or the security of their home. These challenges may put them at risk of returning to rough sleeping or street-based activity. Safety Net intervenes early, offering timely, targeted support to help people remain safely housed and connected to services.

As a Safety Net Worker, you will provide short-term, intensive casework support to people at risk of returning to the streets. You will establish effective and person-centred casework systems, working proactively to resolve issues and prevent homelessness.

In this role, you will:

• Hold a caseload of clients who are at risk of returning to rough sleeping.
• Provide assertive, consistent and practical guidance and support tailored to individual needs.
• Carry out street outreach visits to support people to reconnect with services and return to, or sustain, their accommodation.
• Work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners to achieve positive outcomes for clients.

Exact working days to be agreed upon. Some evening and weekend working may be required to meet the needs of clients.

About you

We are looking for a compassionate, motivated and resilient individual who is passionate about supporting people facing homelessness and complex challenges. You will be proactive, creative in your approach to problem-solving, and comfortable working autonomously while remaining a strong team player.

You will have a genuine commitment to empowering people to make positive changes in their lives, alongside the ability to build trusting relationships and work assertively to achieve sustainable outcomes.

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!
