We are recruiting for Bank cover for our Crisis and Empowering Independence teams. We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate person to join our team to cover shifts for holiday and absence. Please note shifts will include evenings and weekends. As Bank cover, you will flexibly and proactively support the team to manage a caseload of individuals facing homelessness and/or complex challenges.

Coastline's Homeless Service is passionate about breaking down stigma and barriers to the people we support. We provide crisis accommodation, a community hub for people experiencing homelessness, supported accommodation, accommodation for families, move on and outreach support, and a dedicated harm reduction/activities and inclusion team. We strive to not only to deliver a quality service to each individual, but ensure every interaction matters.

You would be joining a multi-disciplinary team where the focus is on team work that provides an exemplary service to the individuals we support. This includes supporting the delivery of activities, courses and other teams within the homeless service.
