Are you looking for a career where every day brings that sense of fulfilment?
Our Community Homeless Health Team supports individuals who are homeless, sofa surfing and in temporary and emergency accommodation. We help 'bridge the gap' and promote re-engagement with health care.
As a Community Homeless Health Support Worker, you will work alongside registered healthcare professionals to deliver compassionate, person-centred care and support. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of individuals who often face significant barriers to accessing healthcare.
- You will proactively engage with people experiencing health inequalities across a variety of community settings, building trusted relationships and empowering them to make positive changes to their health and lifestyle.
- Through your support, you will help individuals access services, improve their wellbeing, and achieve better health outcomes.
In this rewarding role, you will play a key part in tackling health inequalities by working with some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. Providing support to people across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) who are homeless, vulnerably housed, or recently discharged from hospital.
This is a role that brings new challenges, opportunities, and the chance to make a lasting impact on someone's journey towards better health and stability.
