Summary

Turn compassion into action by supporting people experiencing rough sleeping and homelessness to rebuild their lives, gain independence and achieve a place they can call home.

Every day you'll help someone take practical steps away from crisis and towards safety, stability and a brighter future. Through trusted relationships, practical support and life-changing opportunities, you'll see the real impact of your work as people move from surviving to thriving.

Every day is different. Every day matters.

The Enablement Transition Officer is a key frontline role supporting young people and adults to build stability, confidence and independence. The role provides intensive housing-related, practical and transition-focused support to people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, leaving care, living in supported or hostel-based accommodation, or preparing for independent living. The postholder helps clients maintain their licence agreement, reduce risk, develop everyday living skills and move towards suitable accommodation or longer-term independence.

This is a rewarding role for someone who can offer practical, strengths-based, psychologically informed and trauma-informed support. Clients may have experienced poverty, family breakdown, care experience, poor health, substance misuse, exploitation, domestic abuse, debt, unemployment, offending, isolation, disrupted education, limited support networks, long-term homelessness or other complex challenges. The focus is on building trust, recognising strengths and helping each person make realistic progress.

The role sits within services that may operate 24/7, requiring flexibility including evenings, weekends, Bank Holidays, sleep-ins and other rota requirements. It is a skilled frontline specialist role, offering the opportunity to make a direct difference without carrying management or service leadership responsibility.

Car Driver preferred but not essential.
