About Camden

Camden is changing on the inside to make life better for everyone. Our residents and communities are at the heart of everything we do. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today and we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.

How You’ll Be Involved

The role has been developed with funding provided by Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local government (MHCLG) to deliver innovative solutions for those rough sleeping in Camden who do not have local connection to the borough. This builds on the Councils Routes off The Street (RTS) strategy to ensure that all people rough sleeping in the borough receive a service offer which means they no longer have to sleep rough and can start rebuilding their lives in their home area.

The role will carry a case load of people who rough sleep and who may experience multiple disadvantage who require additional support and an intensive casework intervention to access or accept housing and support. This can include in their home area, ensuring they are linked with appropriate services to sustain the outcome.

The role will work dynamically with the Routes off The Streets, the multi- agency Hotspot Team and the Connect Forward Team Leader to prioritise and target cases identified by these teams or referred to them by these teams. The role will work closely with our off-the-streets accommodation services and severe weather emergency protocol (SWEP) provisions, ensuring timely and sustainable move through focused, multi-agency coordination and advocacy where needed. For this reason, the reconnections team will be empowered and self- directed, offering innovation and building solutions with other delivery partners without the need for supervision. In support of this approach, the team will have access to a Camden personalised budget fund (CPBF) to support each reconnection plan.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and will require an Enhanced DBS.
