About Simon Community Scotland
Simon Community Scotland is the largest provider of homelessness services in Scotland.
Our vision is for everyone to have a safe place to live with access to the support they need. We help make positive things happen for people facing extremely difficult circumstances every day.
Everything we do is about and for people: the people we support, our staff, our partners, and everyone affected by homelessness.
Our values are built into every area of activity and tell the story of how people remain at the heart of the Simon Community.
Job Summary
The Simon Community is Scotland's leading homelessness charity. We are creative and innovative. We get things done with care and compassion that make a difference to our community, being true to our values. We are a community of staff, volunteers, and people that we support.
We are looking for someone passionate about changing the expectations and experiences of people we support, many of whom have experienced significant trauma, exclusion, and stigma. They often engage in risk-taking behaviors that put their physical and mental health, and their lives at risk. Despite their challenges, they have incredible resilience, survival skills, and a wicked sense of humor. They know what a good, and not-so-good service looks like.
Creating strong partnership relationships is essential to offer the best options for the people we support and help them link in with services they may have struggled to access in the past.
Our Edinburgh street team responds to people who are rough sleeping, meeting them where they are and providing that crucial first link into care. The team is out and about in all weathers on foot, bike, and car reaching out to all areas of Edinburgh. Supporting someone through the initial first steps on the journey from rough sleeping to more settled arrangements is challenging but incredibly rewarding and with this role, you will have the opportunity to work with those who are most far removed from society and show them that they matter.
