This role is great for someone looking to begin a career within the homeless sector and learn/develop volunteer supervision skills. The post does not require any previous experience of working in the sector or with volunteers but we are looking for someone with a passion for helping those rough sleeping and a willingness to learn in a fast paced environment.

Funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government, GLA and the Welsh Government, Street Link is an app, website and phone line that helps connect people rough sleeping to local services across England and Wales.

The role of the Volunteer supervisor/shift leader will be to support referral/telephone line volunteers, so they can provide a high quality, responsive service to everyone contacting StreetLink; to help ensure anyone having to sleep rough in England and Wales is aware of and connected in with the local services.
