Rough Sleeper Navigator Coordinator

Do you believe that homelessness should be eradicated?

​HARP is Southend-on-Sea's leading homelessness charity. On average we help around 1,000 local people every year to overcome or avoid homelessness. In addition to providing essential short-term emergency shelter, food, clothing and washing facilities, we work to identify the root causes of homelessness, creating tailored support for each person's circumstances. We achieve success by providing structure, purpose and training opportunities, and by providing longer-term supported housing, empowering people to take steps to leave homelessness behind and ultimately live independently in the community.

Do you have experience of working with rough sleepers? Does the idea of working in our busy day centre with our outreach team appeal to you?
