- Build and maintain strong relationships with local authorities, support agencies, rough sleeper teams, and out-of-hours services.
- Attend and contribute to multi-agency meetings, case reviews, and partnership discussions.
Who you are:
- Educated to GCSE standard (or equivalent) with English and Maths
