Homelessness Outreach Assistant

At Turning Tides, we know that anyone’s life can spiral into homelessness. We bring together compassionate individuals and organisations to transform the lives of people in our local community and change perceptions of homelessness.

We provide a warm safe space to listen to anyone who comes to us for help. Local people experiencing homelessness are supported and empowered to become confident and find the strength and belief in themselves to create a brighter future.

Together we can make a difference and end homelessness where you live.

The Homelessness Outreach Supporter will support our Outreach Team with the early morning follow up of reports of people sleeping rough or searching areas known for people rough sleeping. This will involve checking urban places such as car parks or reports of people sleeping in their cars, as well as following up reports in woods and parks. The outreach worker will have a plan and you will travel with them to support them to make initial contact.
