Are you passionate about supporting people to make positive changes in their lives?

The Salvation Army operates over 80 supported accommodation services across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. We call these services ‘Lifehouses’ because they are more than a place to stay. They are places where people can get support with their housing issues – but also find support with other aspects of their lives such as employment, debt problems, training, spirituality, loneliness, addiction or mental health.

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated Night Welcome Worker (known internally within The Salvation Army as Night Concierge) to join our team.  The role will work towards longer term independent living and change the face of homelessness.

• Experience of managing a busy front office environment including dealing with telephone and face to face enquires
