An exciting opportunity has arisen in an established Loughborough based Charity. 

In your role as an Outreach Officer, no day will be the same. In your efforts to support vulnerable individuals with complex needs in exploring accommodation options, your typical working day will begin at 6am to identify and build rapport with clients who are rough sleeping. You will have a visible presence across all of Leicestershire and Rutland, building strong links with colleagues and the community through attending drop ins and working alongside partner agencies and Local Authorities. 

Day to day support will range from supporting individuals to contact the Local Authority, through to building professional relationships, and many things in between. Our holistic approach means supporting clients to improve their general well-being, whether this is supporting to relieve stress surrounding day-to-day appointments or helping them access specialist services to meet their health and social needs. 

You will gain experience of working in partnership with colleagues in Local Authority Housing, Police and Social Care Sectors, as well as colleagues in the Voluntary Sector, to support and promote the best possible outcomes for our service users. 

Please note that this post requires either a full driving licence and use of a vehicle, or having means of transport to travel across Charnwood / Leicestershire. 

An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required for this post. 

We take safeguarding of our clients seriously; therefore, you will be expected to demonstrate that you understand current safeguarding practices and agree to adhere to these practices within the role. 

If you have any questions, you can contact us on 01509 260500 and ask for Damien Barrow – Service Manager (RSI).
