Women'S Homelessness Support Practitioner (Female)

Staffordshire Women's Aid is an award winning, charitable organisation that has been providing specialist services for women and children living with, fleeing, or recovering from the impact of domestic and sexual violence since 1976 and we are looking to recruit a Women's Homelessness Support Practitioner

The Women's Homelessness Project works through a dedicated domestic abuse specialist support practitioner who acts as a Single Point of Contact for the Housing Options Team at Stafford Borough, Cannock Chase District and South Staffordshire District Councils. The aim of the role is to address barriers and find solutions for women at risk of homelessness, or who are homeless, due to domestic and/or sexual violence.

You will carry out needs and risk assessments and deliver specialist one-to one support with the aim of finding safe accommodation and signposting to relevant services to meet individual need. You will work closely with all three Local Authority Homelessness Teams, and in partnership with other local agencies as required.
