The Haven prevents rough sleeping by helping people maintain their existing accommodation or rapidly access alternative accommodation as well as providing a safe and welcoming place and humanitarian aid for people facing rough sleeping.

We are looking for a person who has a desire to help people who are currently experiencing homelessness. You may already have knowledge and understanding of homelessness, maybe through a previous job, as a volunteer or through your own lived experience.

You will be the sort of person who sees people experiencing rough sleeping or sofa surfing as people not just as ‘rough sleepers’ or ‘service users’. You will be self-aware, compassionate, non-judgmental and have a strong degree of emotional intelligence. You will be motivated, great at talking to people, organised and willing to learn. You will be able to respond flexibly, confidently and professionally to any challenges that may arise.

To apply, please send your CV to HR, 67 Queens Road, Watford, WD17 2QN or by email using the button to the left.

Please read the job pack below for all the details and for more information, please contact Ekta Gurney, HR and Volunteer Officer, egurney@newhope.org.uk or 01923 210 680.

Interested candidates are advised to apply early as applications will be reviewed throughout the recruitment period. We reserve the right to close the advert early.
