- Work as part of a multi-agency response to meet the identified needs of customers.
- Develop and maintain an in-depth knowledge of the local services available for people with multiple needs, including their access criteria, and assist in the identification of gaps.
- Support the customer and advocate for them so they can move on from the service into settled accommodation or return home safely and are empowered with the skills, confidence and support required to live independently.
What we’re looking for

- 2 years experience working with adults with complex needs such as domestic abuse or homelessness.
- Experience of handling personal data and working in line with GDPR.
- A genuine understanding of people in abusive relationships. You’ll be their voice so you’ll need great communication skills to provide them with the best support to keep them safe.
- Be up to date with current issues, laws and best practice in domestic abuse related areas. Have a knowledge of working within professional boundaries and safeguarding policies.
- Good ICT skills and experience of Microsoft Office. Great problem solving skills and the ability to think quickly on your feet.

- Hold Honeycomb Group’s missions and values and let them be at the heart of everything you do.
- A full UK driving licence and a vehicle suitable for business use.
