Do you want to play a key role in shaping a new project supporting people at risk of homelessness in a hospital setting?

If so, this role could be for you!

About the project

The Hospital Inreach service is part of a 12-month pilot across Forth Valley. You will be working with people experiencing homelessness who are admitted to Forth Valley Royal Hospital. The project supports people to complete courses of treatment within hospital and to plan for a discharge into accommodation that suits their needs and aids their recovery.

We are recruiting two 20-hour posts to deliver this pilot project, which replicates a service we have successfully run in Edinburgh for several years.

A quote from someone who used our Edinburgh service:

“You literally saved my life, I was sitting in my bed thinking I have nowhere to stay, and when they tell me to leave I will be on the streets in winter and won’t survive the cold or I would have to start using again and that would be it for me. Then you came into the ward to offer your service and it was like being sent an Angel to look out for me”

About the role

Working alongside clinicians in the hospital settings, you will provide one-to-one person-centred support to people in hospitals. You will work with individuals to enable them to identify housing options, personal outcomes and priorities for their health and wellbeing and link them to local support services and activities.

About you

You will have experience supporting individuals with complex social and emotional circumstances, as well as a solid understanding of the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness. You will apply strong interpersonal skills to deliver effective one-to-one support as well as manage relationships with multiple partner agencies across Forth Valley.

You will genuinely believe partnership working is key in supporting the people we work with. You will be resilient and perform effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

How we will support you

We will empower you to bring creative and innovative approaches to your work, encouraging you to explore new ideas and adapt your practice to best support the people you work with.

Your contribution will play a meaningful role in shaping service improvements and influencing wider systems change across the health and Social Care Sector.

You will also benefit from the full range of Cyrenians support, including our comprehensive training programme and dedicated staff wellbeing services.

About us

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We understand that there are many routes into homelessness, and that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures. That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based.
