Are you passionate about tackling homelessness and making a real difference to the lives of people experiencing rough sleeping and multiple disadvantage?
Watford Borough Council is looking for a proactive, compassionate and committed Single Homeless Pathway Officer to support the delivery of its innovative, multi-agency Single Homeless Pathway.
Working alongside the Single Homeless Pathway Co-ordinator, you will play a key role in supporting single people experiencing homelessness, including rough sleepers, to access accommodation, advice and specialist support. You will work closely with a range of partners to deliver joined-up support and help people overcome the barriers they face.
You will be a key point of contact within the Council for rough sleeping and single homelessness, helping to strengthen partnership working, identify opportunities to prevent homelessness and develop innovative approaches to engaging people experiencing multiple disadvantage, including those with restricted eligibility or who may be reluctant or unable to access traditional support services.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting vulnerable people, building effective partnerships and contributing to innovative solutions to homelessness.
If you are committed to making a positive difference and want to help shape the future of homelessness support in Watford, we would love to hear from you.

At Watford Borough Council we consider equality issues alongside other factors when making decisions as an employer of choice. We are committed to ensuring that we have effective policies, strategies, procedures, and processes and that we encourage behaviour which promotes equality, encourages diversity, and contributes to an inclusive organisational culture.

Watford Borough Council is undergoing Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). If you are employed by Watford Borough Council on vesting day, it is expected that the majority of roles will transfer to the newly-created unitary councils on existing terms and conditions under TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings – Protection of Employment) principles.

LGR is one of the biggest changes we will face in a generation. It will reshape how we work and how services are organised, and gives us a real opportunity to build something better.
