Advice & Information Worker

Herts Young Homeless

You will be the first point of contact for anyone needing to access
the ‘hyh hub’ and will ensure that all referrals are triaged to identify
the most effective pathway for support. The worker will deliver
accurate advice and information to young people, parents and
professionals, and work undertaken in a coordinated timely manner.
You will carry out appropriate assessments, with other agencies
where needed, to assess the needs of the family to prevent family
breakdown and homelessness. Where remaining at home is not
appropriate you will work with the young person and their family to
secure alternative arrangements. This role often includes early
intervention and prevention work and the ability to build positive
relationships with both families and partner agencies is paramount.
