You’ll need excellent communication and people skills as well as confidence and enthusiasm. You’ll be working with people who have varying degrees of vulnerability and can, at times, present with behaviour that is challenging. You don’t need to have worked with homeless people before, but a customer services background would be great.
This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who wants to progress to a career in health or social care.
