Closing date: 9am 26th August 2020
Contract length: 1 year fixed term
Interview date: 18th September 2020
About us: Porchlight is a charity supporting people who are homeless, vulnerable and isolated. At Porchlight, we are passionate about helping vulnerable people to reach their full potential. We strive for a fairer society where vulnerable people find stability, the most excluded are included, and where homelessness and poverty are things of the past.
The role: Kent has one of the highest percentages of female homelessness in the country.

What you need:
-A patient, compassionate approach to helping people
-An understanding of people who are have been homeless for a long time / are going through a time of crisis in their lives, and as a result may find it difficult to engage with support services
-Experience of supporting women who have complex needs, including those with dual diagnosis (both mental health and substance misuse related)
-Good communication and negotiation skills, and an ability to empower people and help them reach their full potential
-The ability to work both as part of a team and independently
-Skills in the development of new services, involving women in the process to ensure their needs are met.
Benefits: As a member of the Porchlight team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:
-Free life insurance
-Flexible working hours
-25 days holiday per year (increasing to 30 days after 5 years service)
-Porchlight pension scheme
